Events & Projects
Imi Jamai, Co-Founder
After 15 years in the corporate world and almost 6 of them in the Swiss financial sector, Imi can beneficially bring the skills and knowledge gained in this male-dominated world into Makou. Imi has always toyed with the idea of transforming a vision into a new business. With Makou she co-founded the female founders circle that gives you the support and network she was looking for.
Imi speaks five languages. She holds a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Business and Management from Oxford Brookes University and a Diploma in Business Administration from Schweizerisches Institut für Betriebsökonomie (HWZ).
