Judith Schuler

Judith Schuler has been Head of Marketing & Communications at Helvetas since June 2025. She is responsible for the strategic direction of national and international communications, as well as for marketing, fundraising and partnerships with private institutions and companies. Judith studied International Relations in Geneva and completed a Master's degree in Business Administration. She began her professional career at the World Economic Forum. She then worked for 8 years in various UN organizations in Burundi, Niger, Senegal and Ethiopia. These experiences shaped her understanding of the challenges and opportunities of international development cooperation and humanitarian aid. Since returning to Switzerland in 2012, she has worked for various NGOs, including Save the Children and Caritas, and has spent the last four years as part of Swiss Solidarity's management team, where she led communications and fundraising.

«During the many years I worked in Africa, I realized every day how privileged we are in Switzerland. For me, a goal of working at Helvetas is to ensure that people – especially women and children in the Global South – have fair opportunities. This includes not only access to water, food and education, but also the opportunity to lead a self-determined life, and thus play an active role in shaping their society.»
