Claudia Keller Lüthi is a founding partner in the law firm Grossenbacher Rechtsanwälte AG in Lucerne. She advises private individuals and companies, above all on public law, building and planning law and on energy and environmental law. After studying at the universities of Fribourg and Leuven in Belgium (with an additional degree in EU law), Claudia Keller Lüthi was admitted to the bar of the canton of Lucerne as a lawyer and notary. She began her career there as court clerk in the cantonal court and as a company lawyer at one of the biggest energy service companies in Switzerland.  

Sabine Kilgus is leaving the myclimate Foundation Board with the accession of Claudia Keller Lüthi. The former member of the Board of Directors of the Swiss financial market supervisory authority Finma and professor at the University of Zurich held her office since 2009.   

"I would like to thank Sabine Kilgus sincerely for her valuable contributions in the last twelve years. She provided the organisation with decisive assistance at critical phases and also with other important input for its further development. I'm convinced that Claudia Keller Lüthi, with her wide expert knowledge and trove of experience will likewise soon be a strong pillar for the myclimate Foundation Board," said Urs Egger, Chairman of the myclimate Foundation Board. Stephen Neff, myclimate CEO, commented: "I am very much looking forward to working with Claudia Keller Lüthi and to her support and suggestions for the great tasks that face myclimate as an organisation."  

The myclimate Foundation Board 

The Foundation Board represents the supervisory body of the foundation. As a matter of principle, its members are volunteers. The committee is responsible for the compliance with the deed of foundation and the strategic orientation of the organisation, as well as issuing the necessary regulations for the management of the foundation. It sets the annual goals, and approves the yearly results. The myclimate Foundation Board constitutes itself, and appoints its own members. Urs Egger has been Chairman of the myclimate Foundation Board since 2015. 

The myclimate Foundation Board is completed by Simon Lehmann, CEO and co-founder of AJL Atelier and Executive Chairman of the Swiss E-mobility Group, Kathrin Scherer, head of corporate development at Business Promotion Lucerne; tourism expert Fredi Gmür, long-standing CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of the Swiss Youth Hostels; and Urs Ziegler, Department Head Environment at the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA).
