Meet Melissa

I believe every woman deserves a thriving and fulfilling career that fits her life - on her own terms.

After years of changing roles, professions (3 times!) and cities, I have finally found my calling. I love to support professional mid-career international women in Switzerland and beyond, to find and grow a career they love.

You've built a career. Now you're ready for what's next. Let's build it together.

If you're an international professional woman in Switzerland figuring out your next move, whether that's restarting after a break, wanting to try something new, or stepping up into a bigger role, you're in the right place.

I'm Melissa Birchler, a certified career and Gallup Strengths Coach. I know this journey first-hand. I've lived it myself as an international woman in Switzerland, which is why I founded Birchler Career Consulting.

I combine strengths-based coaching with practical career and personal branding strategies that actually work in the Swiss job market. I also bring insights from:

  • my Masters in Career Counselling (in progress) at the ZHAW

  • more than 200 hours of ICF-accredited coach training

  • my outplacement work with global firm LHH

  • years of experience as a Senior PR and Communication Strategist.

Read about my own return-to-work journey through the Bring Women Back to Work program and upskilling through the University of St Gallen`s  Women Back to Business program.
