about me

Anita Buchli currently leads a University-wide transformation initiative. Before, she advised Careum as head special projects on future-proof investments and collaborated with hospitals and other healthcare organizations to tackle learning challenges during the Covid-19 epidemic. As former head of strategic development at ETH Zurich with the responsibility to help prepare ETH for the future, she lead complex transformational projects and programs, was responsible for new business models and for building ecosystems with partners. She is a (brain) researcher at heart and has always engaged in bridging disciplines and people to realize projects to address unmet needs. While building an international network of clinics, research labs and companies in the field of neurology, she realized how difficult crosstalk between clinicians and researchers was, to a large part due to the lack of understanding of each other's problems. Consequently, she has helped develop a new medical curriculum at ETH, training future doctors in medicine, science and technology. Anita teaches in different settings, is a Board Member at Einsiedeln Abbey and has helped kick-start several start-ups in the biotech and medtech field. She is an alumna of ETH, IMD, MIT and University of Oxford.
