Nina MĂŒller is the CEO of Jelmoli, Switzerland's oldest department store, and certainly one of Zurich's best-known institutions.
The native Austrian, who defines herself as a true European, took up her post in April 2020, right in the middle of the first Lockdown. A more than complicated timing, which did not, however, dampen her optimism and passion for retail.
Before taking the helm of this almost 200 year old house, Nina MĂŒller worked in several beautiful premium luxury houses all over Europe, including Wolford, Mandarina Duck, Swarovski and Christ.
In this discussion, the marketer explains how she shaped her career, and how luck, but above all determination and the ability to believe in herself have enabled her to get the positions of her dreams.
Together we talk about leadership, but also about diversity and feminism.
Nina MĂŒller also outlines her vision of the future of retail, and of department stores such as Jelmoli, which she believes should become places of exchange and encounter, where infotainment is key.
The discussion is rich, optimistic, and definitely makes you want to go for a stroll in one of these beautiful European department stores...
But I won't tell you more and let you discover my discussion with Nina MĂŒllerâŠ

[đŹđ§ English text / French under]
Hi everyone!
This week, I choose to only publish a small message, and not the usual Brillantes interviews, and this for several reasons.
First of all, I wanted to take some time to reflect on the discussion that I recorded (in French) with my last guest, Marion Roucheux, founder of the media dedicated to motherhood Les Louves.
In this very sincere discussion, which resonated a lot in me, as I am about to become a mother in a few weeks, Marion shared her wish to hear more about atypical personalities and backgrounds, different from those that are traditionally seen as successful. To my question "Who would you like to hear in this podcast", Marion answered as follows:
"I think too much emphasis is put on entrepreneurs. I would like to hear a profile that is not a model of success. Someone who is inspiring in who he is, in what she does, in the way she sees things, but not because she has succeeded, at least not in the common sense of success. I want to hear from people and journeys that change the usual and traditional patterns".Marion is not the first to make this kind of remark to me. And I must say that it makes me think.
Because my goal with Brillantes is indeed to reflect the diversity of paths, life choices and successes that exist. And yet, it is true that, so far, many of my guests are entrepreneurs. In no way, however, do I wish to report on a narrow vision of success. Because being committed to an association, working as a midwife, being an artist, a philosopher, a teacher, a writer, or a mother are also exceptional forms of successes. With Brillantes, I would like to make these paths shine, too.
So you know my objective for the months to come... And as always, I hope to get your help and support: do not hesitate to send me your ideas, your remarks, your comments, your criticisms, your guest recommendations, your potential questions. I am all ears and always so happy to answer them.
If I choose to make a small break this week, itâs also because I wanted to give you the time to follow the latest news of Brillantes.
For this, you can have a listen at the episode of the French podcast Franzine, in which Jenny interviewed me. Together, we took some time to talk about my background, but also about media, feminism and what it's like to live abroad. Listening to her will allow you to better understand the background of Brillantes and how I wish to develop this project in the future.
Last week, I was also interviewed by one of my very first guests, Philippine, founder of Escape & Co, for her special series dedicated to travel. You will find there my hotels and restaurants recommendations, my best travel memories, but also my dreams and my vision of travel for the future. Enough to get us out of the monotony of the COVID!
Thank you in advance for your feedback, comments and impressions...
Merci Ă tous, et Ă bientĂŽt, sur Brillantes!
***
[đ«đ· Version française]Bonjour Ă tous,
Cette semaine, je choisis de simplement publier un court message, et non l'un de mes longs interviews habituels, et ce pour plusieurs raisons.
Tout dâabord, jâaimerais prendre le temps de rĂ©flĂ©chir un peu Ă la discussion que jâai enregistrĂ©e (en français) avec ma derniĂšre invitĂ©e, Marion Roucheux, fondatrice du mĂ©dia dĂ©diĂ© Ă la maternitĂ© Les Louves.
Dans cette discussion trĂšs sincĂšre et qui me parle personnellement beaucoup, alors que je mâapprĂȘte dâici quelques semaines Ă devenir mĂšre Ă mon tour, Marion me fait part de son souhait dâentendre plus dans les mĂ©dias des personnalitĂ©s et des parcours atypiques, diffĂ©rents de ceux que lâon attribue traditionnellement Ă la rĂ©ussite. A ma question âQui aimerais-tu entendre dans ce podcast?â, la jeune femme rĂ©pond de la maniĂšre suivante:
âJe trouve que lâon met beaucoup trop en avant les crĂ©ateurs dâentreprise. Jâaimerais entendre un profil qui ne soit pas un modĂšle de rĂ©ussite. Quelquâun dâinspirant dans ce quâil est, dans ce quâil fait, dans sa façon de voir les choses, mais pas parce quâil a rĂ©ussi, en tous les cas pas dans le sens commun de la rĂ©ussite. Jâai envie dâentendre des gens et des parcours qui changent des schĂ©mas habituels et traditionnelsâ.Marion nâest pas la premiĂšre Ă me faire cette remarque. Et je dois dire quâelle me fait rĂ©flĂ©chir.
Car mon objectif est en effet avec Brillantes de rendre compte de la diversitĂ© des parcours, des choix de vie, des rĂ©ussites au sens large du terme. Et pourtant, il est vrai que jusquâĂ prĂ©sent, beaucoup de mes invitĂ©es sont entrepreneuses. En aucun cas pourtant, je ne souhaite rendre compte dâune vision Ă©triquĂ©e de la rĂ©ussite. Car ĂȘtre engagĂ©e pour une association, ĂȘtre sage-femme, ĂȘtre artiste, philosophe, institutrice, Ă©crivain, soignante ou mĂšre, ce sont aussi des formes de rĂ©ussite. Jâaimerais ainsi avec Brillantes faire rayonner ces parcours lĂ , aussi.
Et comme toujours, jâespĂšre pour cela obtenir votre aide et votre soutien: nâhĂ©sitez pas Ă me faire parvenir idĂ©es sur le sujet, vos remarques, nos commentaires, vos critiques, vos idĂ©es dâinvitĂ©es, vos questions potentielles. Je suis toute ouĂŻe et toujours tellement heureuse dây rĂ©pondre.
Je souhaitais Ă©galement par cette petite parenthĂšse vous laisser le temps de suivre un peu lâactualitĂ© de Brillantes, si vous nâaviez pas encore pris le temps. Vous pouvez ainsi vous plonger dans le chouette Ă©pisode du podcast francophone Franzine, dans lequel Jenny mâa interrogĂ©e. Ensemble, nous avons pris de le temps de discuter de mon parcours, mais surtout de mĂ©dias, de fĂ©minisme et de ce que câest que de vivre Ă lâĂ©tranger. LâĂ©couter vous permettra notamment de mieux comprendre les dessous de Brillantes et de comment je souhaite dĂ©velopper ce projet Ă lâavenir.
Jâai aussi Ă©tĂ© interviewĂ©e Ă mon tour par lâune de mes toutes premiĂšres invitĂ©es, Philippine, fondatrice de Escape & Co, pour un article consacrĂ© au voyage. Vous y retrouverez mes bons plans dâhĂŽtels ou de restaurants,, mes plus beaux souvenirs de voyage, mais Ă©galement mes rĂȘves et ma vision du voyage pour lâavenir. De quoi nous faire un peu sortir de la monotonie de la COVID!
Je vous remercie dâavance pour vos retours, vos commentaires et vos impressionsâŠ
Merci Ă tous, et Ă trĂšs vite, sur Brillantes!

[Episode en français] đ«đ·
Marion Roucheux est lâune des fondatrices des Louves, le mĂ©dia qui inspire les mamans contemporaines.
En 2014, lorsquâelle dĂ©cide avec sa rĂ©dactrice en chef de lâĂ©poque, Marine Deffrennes, de lancer sa propre plateforme, Marion veut crĂ©er le mĂ©dia qui lui a manquĂ© pendant toute sa grossesse. Un format esthĂ©tique, moderne et sans tabou, qui transformera la façon dont la maternitĂ© est jusque lĂ traitĂ©e dans les mĂ©dias et aidera les femmes Ă devenir mĂšres.
Dans cet Ă©pisode, Marion partage son parcours dâentrepreneuse. Elle explique ce qui lâa poussĂ©e, Ă la veille de ses trente ans Ă quitter son job de journaliste chez Terra Femina pour lancer son propre projet. On parle de financement bien sĂ»r, et du business modĂšle de son mĂ©dia qui depuis 8 ans, ne cesse de developper de nouveaux formats, contenus et Ă©vĂšnements.
Mais cette discussion est aussi lâoccasion de parler de maternitĂ© et de fĂ©minisme. Marion raconte comment devenir mĂšre a chamboulĂ© sa vie. Avec la sincĂ©ritĂ© que lâon retrouve dans ses Ă©ditos, elle partage son expĂ©rience, les beaux moments comme les plus compliquĂ©s, avec un objectif: accompagner les mamans dans ce voyage Ă la fois si intime et tellement universel, comme elle le dit si bien.
Je vous laisse donc vous plonger dans ce nouvel Ă©pisode de Brillantes, et vous souhaite une trĂšs bonne Ă©coute!

Alisée de Tonnac is the Co-Founder and the CEO of Seedstars World, a global start-up competition which aim is to identify and support the most promising entrepreneurial initiatives in emerging markets.
At just 32 years old, she has already travelled around the world, she has been recognised by the biggest international medias, including Forbes and Wired, and she is one of Europe's 50 most influential women in the startup and venture capital space... But thatâs not all: AlisĂ©e is also the mother of 2 children.

Alisée talks about the couple she forms with Pierre-Alain Masson, in life as at Seedstars. She recounts the social pressure she experienced when becoming a mother and admits the difficulties she had in finding her new place after this major change.
This exchange is extremely rich and sincere, and is really worth a listen. So, donât loose a minute, and dive into this new episode with the brilliant AlisĂ©e de Tonnac.

Aysha van de Paer has one mission: to empower women through investment.
Her theory? In order to overcome the inequalities and economic vulnerability that all women may face during their lives, investment is the safe, easy and time-saving way to guarantee a certain economic security. In this interview, Aysha takes her personal exemple and explains how the loss of her husband, at just 35 years old, made her aware of the necessity to secure her financial situation.
Convinced of the need to bring this message to all women, and to make them change their vision of that practise that may appear complex and scary, the young woman created her own blog, which then became a real business: InvestLikeAysha.com.
In this interview, we will learn the basic principles to invest the best way in the stock market, and listen to all the valuable advice that Aysha shares with each and every one of us. ETF, Robo-Advisors, diversification, sustainable investment⊠In one hour, you will understand the basic concepts, which are much less complex than you thought, and will know how to start your new life as an investor.
So don't waste a minute: itâs time to listen to this essential interview.... because you will quickly understand that you should start investing today already!

En septembre 2019, Marguerite a fondĂ© avec son associĂ© Rym Trabelsi Clear Fashion, une de ces applications qui rĂ©volutionnent le secteur de la mode et le font Ă©voluer vers des pratiques plus responsables. BasĂ©e sur la transparence et le partage dâinformation, leur idĂ©e est de fournir aux consommateurs les outils pour acheter leurs vĂȘtements de maniĂšre consciente et raisonnĂ©e.
Dans cette discussion, Marguerite revient sur son engagement pour lâenvironnement. On parle de ses Ă©tudes en agronomie, et de lâorigine de son intĂ©rĂȘt pour la mode. Avec son sourire contagieux, Marguerite raconte son parcours entrepreneurial, son apprentissage du code, sa premiĂšre levĂ©e de fonds, et le succĂšs de leur entreprise, qui compte dĂ©jĂ 12 employĂ©s.
Le sujet est passionnant, et promet dâintĂ©resser les entrepreneurs en devenir, amoureux de la mode, et autres militants pour une consommation plus Ă©thique et responsable.

This week, I have the pleasure to receive on my podcast a woman with an exceptional background.
Sarah Springman has been rector of one of the world's best universities, ETH, since 2015.
But that's not all.The number 2 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich is also a top athlete and multiple European Triathlon Champion. For her career-long service to her sport at international level, the Queen of England even made her Commander of the order of the British Empire .
In this discussion, you will understand how the British engineer did to pursue two careers of excellence at the same time. We talk about success, and I understand how the practice of high-level sport has nourished her academic career, and vice versa.
Sarah Springman looks back on her journey in these male-dominated environments and shares her vision of female leadership.
The first female professor in geotechnical engineering in Western Europe explains why social, cultural and gender diversity in science and research is needed. I ask her about the actions taken by ETH to promote greater diversity, and we talk about the cases of sexism that are shaking up the academic world and in particular ETH's cousin, EPFL.
In this podcast, you will discover a strong and resolutely brilliant personality. But I won't tell you more and let you discover this discussion with an extraordinary woman.

Barbara Lax had one ambition: to have a long-term positive impact on people's lives.
Some time after the birth of her first daughter, while searching for the best childcare system, the civil engineer found out how she could contribute to a better future: by creating a childcare concept adapted to the modern world.
Against all odds, despite the reluctance of her surroundings, Barbara left her successful career at Caterpillar and set out on her own.
In 2012 Little Green House was born. A childcare network adapted to modern families, helping both parents to keep their career, multilingual, close to nature and ecology and following an innovative educational system, according to the discoveries of neurosciences.
In this discussion, the triathlete and iron woman looks back on the first, particularly difficult years of entrepreneurship and what drove her to persevere in spite of everything.
We talk about education of course, and in particular about the incredible breakthroughs in neuroscience, directly relevant for the education of young children.
We also discuss about public policies for early childcare and about parental leave. The businesswoman, whose company was rated last year as one of the most dynamic companies in Europe by the Financial Times, explains her decision to create a system of private crĂšches, and details her wishes of expansion.
In short, Barbara gives us a real entrepreneurial lesson and makes us realise how crucial the early years are for every child, and how a family policy can help create a modern, open and egalitarian society.
So plug in your headphones, it's time for another episode of Brillantes !

The slow food advocate then runs to her office, the Zurich chocolate factory, La Flor.
In this discussion, you will find out what pushed the young designer to change her career plans and devote herself to food.
In 2014, Laura creates Sobre Mesa, and offers different classes with one ambition: to reintroduce people to the pleasure of eating well and to teach the value of food and the benefits of cooking...
With Laura, we talk about organic and local agriculture, about supermarkets and fresh markets, about vegetarianism and animal blood, or about the scandals that lies behind bananas and chocolate production.
We also talk about her journey as an entrepreneur and in particular about her latest creation, La Flor. An ethical chocolate factory, in the heart of Zurich, which aim is to produce a qualitative and tasteful chocolate, respectful of the environment...
A small revolution in the country which produces more than 10% of the world chocolate market.

Anna StĂŒnzi is the president of Foraus, the Swiss think tank dedicated to foreign policy and a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research... But that's not all. At barely 30, the young woman is also the founder of a solar energy start up, and a member of the board of Gemeinsam Znacht, an association that looks after the integration of migrants.
If I had to define Anna in one word, I would say "committed". Two themes in particular are dear to her: environment and migration.
In this discussion, Anna explains why her work in the private sector and in associations has always been an excellent way to feed her academic research, and vice versa. We talk about her mission as the president of the Foraus and I question her about the concrete impact of think tanks on public policies.
Together we also talk about the status of women in the male-dominated world of academic research and how universities should adapt to the modern world. Anna, who also dances one hour everyday, shares with me her secrets for remaining productive and managing so many activities at the same time.
As you will have understood, Anna is definitely inspiring and enriching, that kind of personality you don't meet every day. So plug in your headphones: its time for the new episode of Brillantes!

With her beautiful woven baskets, colourful chairs and benches or exclusive printed clothing, the Swiss designer Kathrin Eckhardt mixes the craftsmanship of her adopted country, Ghana, with European tastes and standards.
In this interview, Kathrin tells me what inspired her, one day in 2015, to give up her career as a journalist and fashion stylist to settle in Ghana out of love.
The Swiss woman looks back on her difficult beginnings in this faraway country and explains how she managed, over time, to integrate and understand the local rules and customs, to finally become the entrepreneur she is today.
Ghana has now become her second home. Here, Kathrin founded her design label, a studio and her network of artisans.
I ask Kathrin about her lifelong interest in fashion, but also about her career in the media industry, especially at the famous NZZ am Sonntag. We discuss the evolution of these two industries and Kathrin tells how the economic difficulties and her thirst for freedom and creativity pushed her on the path of entrepreneurship.
The designer recounts her learnings, but also her fears and difficulties. We talk about money and negotiation of course, as well as creativity, inspiration and freedom.
In this discussion, Kathrin opens her heart and allows us all to be inspired by her sincerity, independence and strength.
So don't miss a minute and enjoy this new episode of Brillantes!

Madelyne Meyer, the blogger behind Edvin Uncorked, columnist and author of the best seller "Endlich Wein Verstehen" (âWelcome to Wineâ in English ) has a mission: to make the wine world clear and accessible to all.
Because we have all already been impressed by a wine connoisseur... the one who notices the note of redcurrant in his glass, or recognises each grape variety. We have all already been discouraged by the huge choice in the supermarket...
With her unique tone, full of humour and irony, with her simple words and colourful drawings, Madelyne takes us by the hand and teaches us about wine, in her own way.
In this discussion, the young woman, whose family has had a wine cellar company in Aarau for five generations, tells of her experiences in the Californian and Bordeaux vineyards.
Madelyne explains why she decided to create wine courses exclusively for women.
She shares her advice on how to match wines and food, or how to choose the right bottle to offer. We also discuss the future and evolution of the wine industry. In an honest way, Madelyne Meyer finally tells about her successes, but also her doubts and weaknesses.
So don't waste a minute. Make yourself comfortable, help yourself to a glass of wine - this is your chance! - and enjoy this new episode of Brillantes....

Anna Gracia Herbst has always wanted to find in her professional life a way to help others.
So when she first hears about Khalil Radiâs new project in 2018, she is immediately convinced. In Nicaragua, her friend has launched an action to encourage people collect and bring back the polluting plastic bottles in exchange for a hot meal. The project tackles two major problems at the same time: pollution and social misery. And on earth, 80% of plastic pollution is coming from those countries that have extreme poverty.
In Zurich, together with a small group of other people, they create the association Buy Food With Plastic, whose mission is clear: 'Stop Hunger and recycle at the same time'.
In this interview, Anna explains the objectives of Buy Food with Plastic, their recycling or upcycling plans, and we also compare with similar projects internationally. Anna details the financing solutions for this project, which for the past few months has been professionalizing and expanding beyond Nicaragua, in Ghana and in India. The young lady, who left her job in a start-up to become a full-time employee of her association, also tells me about volunteering, commitment, entrepreneurship, and shares with me her unfailing confidence in the future.
So for all of you who would like to learn more about plastic pollution, understand how it can become a weapon against poverty, and be inspired by Annaâs great commitment, I invite you to plug in your headphones and dive into the new episode of Brillantes!

In her second life, Aline Borges decided to use flowers to express her art and creativity.
On the eve of her 40th birthday, she left Brazil, her home country, and made Switzerland her new home. She left behind a successful career in fashion, with one goal: to become the first artist in Switzerland to use flowers as a main tool. The Florist was born.
In Zurich, she revolutionises the profession. Exit, the street shop, Aline works in an atelier. She produces her bouquets on demand or by subscription. She teaches her know-how and carries out all sorts of requests for brands or private clients...
And Aline's work is so powerful, that over time she even acquired the status of artist.
In this discussion, Aline recounts the success of TheFlorist.ch, launched in 2016. She details how she conceived and set up her business. Aline also describes the challenge of working with a living material as fragile as flowers, and I ask her about the environmental impact of this globalised industry.
We talk about entrepreneurship and its challenges, and she explains how she has managed to make a place for herself and to create a network in this new country. Of course, you will also hear about her professional beginnings, in Brazil, as she was working for 16 years in fashion, namely for Vogue and Harpers Bazaar.
During this fascinating exchange, I discover a strong and independent woman, extremely ambitious and determined, a real artist with a wonderful taste.
So come and discover the exciting environment of floristry and learn from another successful entrepreneurial journey: the new episode of Brillantes is waiting for you!

âš Hi everyone,
Just a little note here, because you might have realised, there will be no new episode of the podcast this week. But don't panic already, Brillantes is not over, far from that!
But after eight intense weeks since the launch of the podcast, I just need some time. Some time to reflect, to review what I have been doing since the launch of this project that is so close to my heart. I want to take this opportunity to go through all your feedbacks, all your messages, all your advices. I need to understand them, to take them into account, to integrate them.
Because at the end, my aim is to give the most valuable and qualitative content every week.
My goal has not changed: I want to show you the journey of sparkling and admirable, strong and enterprising women.
Because I know that you can learn and be so enriched by their stories and experiences, I want you to get inspired by their successes and learn from the difficulties they've gone through.
I want you to hear from these women from all professional backgrounds, from all walks of life, and I wish to help you discover new worlds and new challenges each week.
And believe me, this takes time :)
But I am sure that this will also be an opportunity for you to look back over these eight episodes, and to discover or rediscover these eight exciting women who are already part of the Brillantes community.
From art to science, communication, beauty, photography or gastronomy, I guarantee you will not get bored.
And if you can, please take chance to send me your advice, your points of view, your suggestions for guests. This is also the opportunity of course - and I promise, this is really vital for the podcast - to rate Brillantes with 5 stars, to add a nice comment, and to share it with as many people around you as possible.
Thank you for listening, and thank you for making this so amazing project possible!
I wish you a great week, et Ă bientĂŽt sur Brillantes! âš

When Larisa Topalo arrived in Zurich for love three years ago, with no network nor someone to go to, she decided to launch her own blog. A way to establish a name for herself in this foreign city, and to potentially find a job.
In her blog "Just moved to Switzerland", Larisa tells about her daily life as an expat, her discoveries, her joys but also her difficulties. And in a city as international as Zurich, her tone and sincerity are really much appreciated. In just one year, she gets 10,000 followers.
In this discussion, Larisa reveals her origins and tells about her studies between Canada and Europe. She describes her passion for communication and explains to me how she has always been working to value and promote her work.
Today, more than 42,000 people are following Larisa. Enough for her to quit her job in communications at UBS and to become independent.
Larisa explains me her business model, based on content productions, influence and consulting missions. You will hear about her tips and tricks to create a community as powerful as hers.
We discuss about the status of influencers, and their responsibility towards their audience. I question their authenticity, and I get to discover the ins and outs of this business, as well as the best practices for working with influencers.
We talk about the difficulty for freelancers to define the worth of their work, and Larisa shares her tips and organisational advices.
The discussion gives me a better understanding what it means to be an influencer, and I discover a sensitive, ambitious and extremely determined woman. So donât lose a minute, and dive into this powerful conversation.

She has not finished her studies yet, but is already fighting on a daily basis to make her professional sector, tech, a more inclusive one. A place where women and men would fight on equal terms.
Three years ago, CĂ©line Nauer co-founded Code Excursion, a coding school by and for women, conceived as a community. There, she teaches women about programming, in a helpful, passionate and including way. Her goal? To help and encourage women take ownership of such a male-dominated sector.
Since the beginning of her studies, CĂ©line has been navigating in the least feminized academic and professional environments, science and technology. Today, women still represent on average only 30% of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) students. And this percentage decreases with the expertise level: only 5% of leadership positions in the tech sector are held by women.
But these figures have never discouraged CĂ©line. After a bachelor's degree in physics at the University of Zurich, the woman whose aim in life is to learn as much as possible, is now finishing her master's degree in Neuroscience and Computation at the ETH. In this interview, Celine tells how the gender-neutral education she received pushed her down this path. She explains how her years at university, between Zurich and Taiwan, but also in the industry, at Swiss Post Solutions, convinced her to fight for parity and equality in tech and science.
Through her clear and concrete examples, CĂ©line describes why the scientific world today is anything but meritocratic. We talk about the gender bias that the algorithms that shape our daily lives carry within them, and she demonstrates the absolute necessity for diversity in the tech and scientific worlds. Roles models, female initiatives, quotas: we go though all the solutions that can be implemented to promote gender quality.
To everyone who you is thinking about learning how to code, or who would just like to better understand those crucial topics for our democracies, I invite you to dive into this exciting and challenging conversation!
