About
The Vice Presidency for Operations (VPO) works towards our School’s “fourth mission”: making our campuses welcoming places where the thousands of people who come to them each day can work, study, research and innovate effectively and sustainably.
The VPO oversees our campuses in Lausanne, Geneva, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Sion. It manages all other aspects of campus operations – food services, IT systems, safety and security, facilities, and much more. Working closely with students, faculty members, researchers and other employees at each of our sites, VPO staff seek to deliver impeccable service and support our School’s pursuit of excellence.
Organizational structure
Vice President
My job entails running and cultivating smart, sustainable campuses where our community can study, research and innovate effectively, safely, and with the benefit of top-notch facilities and support – including our buildings, IT systems and food services. I take my responsibility towards our community very seriously. We have some major construction, renovation and digitalization projects in the works, which will make our campuses even better equipped to confront the challenges we’ll face in the coming years.
