Biography

Patricia Danzi was born in Fribourg[5] and grew up in canton of Zug.

In 1996, she competed in the heptathlon at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and placed 23rd. She transformed her powers of concentration from sport into her professional life.[8] She graduated in geography, agricultural sciences and environmental sciences,[7] and holds a degree in development cooperation from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.[9]

Danzi worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) since 1996. Her first stay abroad took her to Goražde in Bosnia. Later, she worked in Latin America and then in Africa.[7] From May 2015 to 2020, she headed the ICRC's Africa Regional Directorate with more than 7,000 staff.[7]
