Every year on the occasion of the lecture preceding graduation, EPFL Alumni gives an Alumni Award to EPFL graduates who have distinguished themselves over the course of their careers.
When Florence Schnydrig Moser joined EPFL in 1992 she took on a doubly diffi-cult challenge. Originally from the Ger-man-speaking part of Valais, she needed to learn French in addition to studying for her courses. This was just the first step in a journey that would take this student with a passion for mathematics to the highest ranks of Swiss finance.
After starting her career at UBS, Florence Schnydrig Moser joined Credit Suisse in 2000. In 2007, she went on to develop the bank’s product offering in Australia, then in Hong Kong from 2010.
It was during this period that she had her children, proof that it is possible to combine great professional responsibili-ties with family life. In 2015, she returned to Europe and took over as head of the Products, Investments and Marketing section for Credit Suisse in Switzerland, simultaneously becoming a member of the bank’s national Executive Board. She also joined the Boards of Directors of Swisscard and Twint.
In 2018, Florence Schnydrig Moser was appointed CEO of Swisscard, managing 700 people and more than 1.5 million credit cards. In 2019, she received
an Alumni Award. At the ceremony, she stressed the importance of “staying curious, continuing to learn and not for-getting to have fun”. These are goals she is successfully achieving every day, while also showing an aptitude for innovation in a banking environment undergoing digital transformation.
