OSA Director Daniel Hunziker – “working tirelessly on behalf of our global expatriate community”

06.02.2026 – Daniel Hunziker

Dear Swiss Abroad,

My tenure as director of the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (OSA) began on 1 January. I have previously worked at various places in Switzerland and abroad. After growing up in Aarau, I spent a total of five years in the United States studying economics and doing an MBA. It was in the US where I met my wife. My time across the pond gave me first-hand experience of life as a Swiss expat.

After returning to Switzerland, I worked for several years in the banking/financial and consultancy sectors. I ventured abroad again in 2007 – to my wife’s home territory of New Caledonia, where I worked as an adviser and managing director mainly in the financial, organisational and administrative fields, while also representing Switzerland as honorary consul for many years. This diplomatic role gave me a direct insight into the issues and challenges facing the “Fifth Switzerland”.

I have headed several companies and executed complex projects in different sectors during my professional life, gaining broad leadership experience as well as practical expertise in developing and managing organisations.

Thanks to my numerous years abroad, I am more than familiar with the expectations, challenges and realities of being a Swiss Abroad. I am now looking forward to putting this knowledge to good use at the OSA and working tirelessly on behalf of our global expatriate community.

Kind regards, Daniel Hunziker
