Sandra Hüni – Loves it when no two working days are alike I work in the exciting and varied world of events and outreach at the SNI, where I’m involved in everything from organizing and implementing events or outreach activities to post-event follow-up. What’s your professional background? I began my career with a commercial banking apprenticeship at the Swiss Bank Corporation. After successfully completing the apprenticeship, I stayed on at the corporation and worked as an investment adviser for foreign customers. I subsequently moved to another major Swiss bank, where I worked as a na- tionwide specialist on teller operations, including product man- agement of the various teller products. As I was also keen to get to know the world of work outside the banking sector, however, I then served as assistant to the president of the Swiss Physical Society (SPS) in 2006 before coming to work at the SNI in 2008. What motivates you about your job? I love that no two days are alike and that creativity is always called for in my work. It’s a great feeling when everything comes together nicely at an event and everyone is pleased with how it went. I also really value working as part of a fantastic team. What are you currently working on? Right now, I’m doing the preparatory work for the Annual Meet- ing 2026, and I’m already looking forward to seeing some of you in Meisterschwanden... ;-) Fun Facts Tea or coffee? Tea Cats or dogs?

Favorite food: Italian, Austrian and Swiss cuisine Last vacation? High above Lake Thun with stunning views — it was wonderful!

Some say she has a crystal ball that lets her foresee events and possible outcomes, enabling her to avoid potential pitfalls and take precautions.” Kerstin Beyer-Hans on Sandra Hüni’s superpower 35 SNI INSight June 2026
