About Me
I am Laura – a warm-hearted, energetic, and cheerful person who always loves new challenges. My journey has taken me from Zurich to Singapore and on to stops in Hong Kong, Beijing, and London, before I settled back in my wonderful hometown of Zurich in 2015. After graduating in Banking and Finance in St. Gallen, I started my career in investment banking, specializing in foreign exchange. After a decade in this industry, it was clear to me: It was time to transform my passion into something that benefits not just myself, but others as well. Thus, I founded my company 'GAIA Children'. The idea for GAIA emerged during the first coronavirus lockdown in 2020 and didn't let go until I found the courage to leave my previous profession behind and embark on a new adventure.
On May 5, 2022, I became a mother myself – now my company is not my only baby. As a mom of a charming boy, I now bring my passion for business management and love for parenthood together. With the additional perspective of a mother, I strive to continuously improve and develop GAIA to create a world that positively influences future generations. I am very happy about any constructive feedback and ideas.
Thank you for being part of the GAIA community.
With much love,
LauraWhy "GAIA"?
Why "GAIA": From an early age, even before I could articulate words clearly, I instinctively gestured to myself and referred to myself as "Gaia". As such, during the initial years of my life, I identified myself as Gaia (although my given name is Laura). Intriguingly, in Greek mythology, Gaia represents the Earth and is regarded as the primordial mother of all life. This fortunate coincidence inspired the creation of the name GAIA Children.
