    #23 Tanya Koenig - Navigating authenticity, media, and motherhood

    In this powerful comeback episode of Brillantes, host Jeanne du Sartel welcomes Tanya Koenig, whose voice has shaped Swiss television, journalism, and live events for over a decade. As a journalist, moderator, and storyteller, Tanya opens up about navigating the evolving media landscape with authenticity at her core. From hosting G&G on Swiss TV to international events, she shares insights on embracing imperfection, building bridges across cultures, and redefining success on her own terms. As she navigates the challenges of being in the spotlight, Tanya also opens up about the impact of pregnancy on her career and personal projects. She reflects on the closure of the Swiss show 'G&G' and its implications for the media landscape, while contemplating her future aspirations, including potentially working internationally. Throughout the dialogue, Tanya emphasizes the significance of authenticity, self-trust, and the evolving role of women in media. This conversation goes beyond the glamour of TV to explore what it truly means to be authentic in an industry often focused on perfection.

    #24 Seraina Rohrer - Making Art Possible

    “ All that I did in my career was always to enable culture.” From directing the Solothurn Film Festival to shaping cultural policy for the Canton of Zurich, Seraina Rohrer has dedicated her career to supporting the arts — not from center stage, but by building the frameworks that allow others to create, take risks, and grow. Today, she is one of the most influential figures in Swiss cultural policy. In this conversation, we dive into Seraina’s personal and professional journey: from her early love of music and the moment she secretly discovered cinema as a child, to her current role funding artists, fostering innovation, and defending a vision of culture that’s inclusive, dynamic, and future-oriented. We talk about motherhood, gender equality in the arts, why failure should be part of cultural funding, and what it means to lead with both vision and humility. 🎧 Brillantes brings you powerful conversations with women who challenge norms and rethink what success really means.

    #25 Nora Kato - Rethinking Leadership, Ritual, and Growth

    In this episode, host Jeanne du Sartel meets Nora Kato, former Co-CEO of FREITAG and now co-founder of IPSUM ALII. Until early 2025, Nora was helping steer one of Zurich’s most iconic design companies — known for its circular products and holocratic structure. But behind the scenes, she was slowly building something more personal: a skincare brand rooted in friendship, cultural heritage, and a desire for balance. We talk about navigating leadership in a non-hierarchical company, what “gentle leadership” looks like, and how stepping away from structure can create space for intuition and intention. Nora also opens up about building a business alongside motherhood, the influence of Japanese wellness rituals, and her dream of opening an onsen in the Swiss Alps. Throughout the conversation, she reflects on visibility, responsibility, and what it means to lead by example — not only for her team and her daughters, but for other women navigating ambition and care. ✨ Brillantes brings you powerful conversations with women who challenge norms and redefine what success truly means.

    From climate science to politics— Nora Ernst reflects on trust, family policy, and building a liveable future. In this episode, Jeanne meets Nora Ernst — co-president of the Green Liberal Party in Zurich, member of the city parliament in Winterthur, environmental scientist, and Senior Sustainability Risk Manager at Swiss Re. Her path into politics began only a few years ago, during maternity leave, when she decided to get active — and has since turned her into one of the fresh, credible voices shaping Zurich’s political landscape. Together, they explore: How maternity leave opened the door to politicsWhy Switzerland’s part-time culture is both a challenge and an opportunityThe risks of disinformation — and why trust in science matters more than everWhy care work should be treated as economic infrastructureWhat gives her hope in times of climate anxiety and political backlash Throughout the conversation, Nora opens up about balancing three lives at once — politics, a corporate career, and motherhood — and why optimism, even when fragile, is still essential to move forward. ✨ Brillantes brings you powerful conversations with women who challenge norms and redefine what success truly means.

    #29 Florence de Montfort - Craftsmanship as Legacy

    In this episode, Jeanne du Sartel meets Florence de Montfort, founder of FDM Fine Crafts, in her gallery tucked away in Zurich’s old town. After sixteen years in the corporate world, Florence chose a radically different path — building a hybrid gallery and agency dedicated to contemporary design and exceptional craftsmanship. Her work sits at the intersection of design, sourcing, and cultural mediation — creating bridges between craftspeople, architects, brands, and private clients. At the heart of her project lies a simple but powerful belief: that objects can carry meaning, time, and legacy — and that craftsmanship deserves visibility, respect, and space. Together, they explore: What pushed her to leave a “safe” corporate career and take the leap into entrepreneurshipHow trust and relationships shape an industry built on time, skill, and intuitionThe difference between design and fine craft — and why some objects become investmentsWhy furniture can be inherited, not replacedThe hidden financial and emotional realities of running a design galleryWhy she’s now looking for a co-founder — and what the next chapter could look like Throughout the conversation, Florence reflects on courage, patience, and alignment — and on the importance of slowing down in a world driven by speed and consumption. ✨ Brillantes brings you powerful conversations with women who challenge norms and redefine what success truly means.
