ISABELLE OSWALD
BOARD MEMBER
Isabelle was born and raised in Zurich, is married and has 2 daughters. Her professional roots are in marketing, but for over 20 years she has devoted herself entirely to retail and the development of beautiful products. She developed the desire to achieve more with consumer goods than just the joy of beautiful products and thus developed the SOAP4HOPE line, with which she supports the Masar Community Center. Isabelle visited Lebanon and the center and was so impressed that she decided to get even more involved with S4L. Isabelle speaks German, English and French.
