Launching an association is just the beginning. Building a strong, visible and influential community is the real mission.

We are proud to introduce the Founding Board of YoungShip Switzerland:
Charlotte Baiwir — President
Akin Omus — Secretary & Treasurer
Julie Guichard — Sponsoring
Virginia Raffaeli — Communication
Yasmina Rauber — Advisor

We come from different corners of the maritime ecosystem, but we share one clear ambition: To build Switzerland’s leading network for the next generation of maritime professionals.

Our goal is about more than organising events. We want to connect sectors, generations and regions, create meaningful opportunities, encourage fresh ideas, and ensure young professionals have a strong voice in shaping the future of our industry.

This is more than a network. It’s a platform for collaboration, innovation and future industry leaders.

The Board is already hard at work, and our first initiatives will be announced soon.

Are you a young professional in shipping, trading, logistics, finance, insurance, technology or sustainability? Would your company like to support the next generation of maritime talent? Looking to contribute, connect or collaborate?
