Executive DirectorCartier Philanthropy
Pascale joined Cartier in July 2013 to launch Cartier Philanthropy, a grant-making foundation committed to improving the lives of the most vulnerable. Under her leadership, the foundation has invested some CHF 100M to support impact-driven non-profit organisations operating in over 30 countries.
Pascale’s two decades' work in humanitarian and development efforts proved an invaluable background for her work in philanthropy. She began her career as an intern at the UN in New York and soon found herself on the team of the UN Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs in Mogadishu, Somalia. She then joined UNICEF in Baghdad, Iraq, and later was back on the team to lead donor relations for the USD 100M Iraq country programme. She also took part in on-the-ground efforts in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
In her ten years at Cartier Philanthropy, Pascale has established a data-driven and outcome-oriented approach, focusing on effective interventions with a potential for scale.
