One of the most respected and popular Swiss Federal Councillors, and twice President of the Swiss Confederation – in 2010 and again in 2017 – Doris Leuthard honours us with her presence.

Coming from the Christian Democratic People’s Party (CVP/PDC), she was first elected to the Swiss Federal Council in 2006 and stepped down in 2018.

She was the fifth woman elected to the Federal Council.

In high office, she headed the Federal Department of Economic Affairs and then went on to become head of the Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications.

In her capacity as minister, she was appointed by United Nations Secretary General António Guterras in 2018 to the High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation, co-chaired by Melinda Gates and Jack Ma.

Nowadays, she is a member of various boards, including the Kofi Annan Foundation and Stadler Rail.

Doris Leuthard has without question left an indelible mark on the Swiss political scene.  The Geneva Chapter is delighted to welcome her and be joined by members and guests of the Career Women’s Forum.
