Change in the Usthi Team

On 1st July, Tiana Glatt joined the Usthi team. Together with Christian Rübensaal, she will be responsible for public relations and fundraising. Olga Egli, who was previously in charge, will leave Usthi at the end of the month.

Since 2018, Olga Egli has been responsible for the public relations and fundraising of the Usthi Foundation and, in case of absence, occasionally also deputised for the executive director. By introducing a new contact database and optimising administrative processes, she had a lasting impact on fundraising and donor relations. After three years of dedication to Usthi, she is leaving the Foundation at the end of July to go travelling with her family.

With Christian Rübensaal, Usthi already has an experienced employee who is very familiar with the Foundation’s fundraising. In future, he will be responsible for fundraising and, together with Tiana Glatt, for the Foundation’s image and donor relations.

Tiana Glatt joined the Usthi team at the beginning of July. In future, she will be responsible for the Foundation’s public relations and support Christian Rübensaal in fundraising. During a two-year stay in Uruguay, she gained her first experience in the non-profit sector in a foundation that aims to enable young people to enter the labour market. The studied education and culture manager is skilled in communication and is looking forward to using her know-how for the Usthi Foundation in the future.

Usthi is looking forward to working with Tiana Glatt and wishes Olga Egli all the best for her future.
