Team Members

Nathalie Klauser

Nathalie Klauser is the founder of Intersections and a digital entrepreneur: she built a data-driven start-up, supported computational social science at ETH Zurich and, as deputy managing director of the Risiko-Dialog Foundation, established its digitalisation programme. She studied communication, political science and psychology and trained further in strategic foresight and ethics. She sits on the board of CH++ and on the ethics advisory boards of the City of Lucerne and the MIDATA cooperative, and teaches at several universities.

Lukas Walker

Lukas Walker is a project lead at Intersections, a computer scientist and a policy analyst. While studying computer science at ETH Zurich, he became preoccupied with the disconnect between digital and analogue reality, which led him to switch to Science, Technology and Policy for his master’s degree. He campaigns in university politics for more ethical discourse in engineering and sits on the advisory boards of ETHik in CS and the Debug Society Film Festival.

Cathlene Bell

As Communications and Community Lead, Cathlene Bell is a dedicated proponent of ethical and participatory social impact storytelling. Having previously worked with the International Labour Organisation, as well as with local integration measures such as Capacity, Refugee Voices and women++, she is delighted to channel her diverse experiences towards fostering a dignified digital existence through the power of open data.
