Secretary General of the FAAI since 2017, Mario Fetz has played an active role in the development and influence of the Foundation, contributing his considerable expertise and commitment. He has made a significant contribution to the protection and defence of children's rights and the integration of young people in difficulty, both in the field with our partners and in Geneva with the Birdhouse Restaurant.
He is now handing over to Bénédicte Pansier, who ran the centre Les Pensières from Fondation Mérieux for over 8 years. She has more than 25 years of international experience in private-sector marketing, public-private partnerships, international relations and fundraising with the United Nations, foundations and NGOs, as well as in university research and teaching. Her areas of interest include education and training, community engagement and global health.
On behalf of the Foundation Board and the FAAI team, we would like to sincerely thank Mario Fetz for all he has brought to the Foundation and wish Bénédicte Pansier every success in her new role.
