Valerie Remoquillo-Jenni

Valerie Remoquillo-Jenni brings her leadership and expertise in family advisory, philanthropy and social entrepreneurship to her role as CEO of the Fourfold Foundation. Fourfold is a Swiss charitable foundation that envisions a healthy and equitable world that respects all forms of life. Working with the founding family behind Fourfold, Valerie oversees a broad international philanthropic portfolio ranging from education to science translation, from movement-building to impact investing.

Valerie started her career in the development sector, first as a specialist trainer in fundraising and advocacy for NGOs in the Asia-Pacific region. She then moved on to diplomacy and international relations, spearheading an education collaborative between Asian and European students, researchers and policymakers. Valerie was also director of community relations and philanthropy for an award-winning social enterprise that supports smallholder farmers from Latin America.

Building on her rich field experience, Valerie went on to design philanthropic programmes for multigenerational families and their foundations. In her stint of nearly a decade at a Zurich-based family office, she also led governance offerings that sought to link vision, values and action. Deepening her interest in a holistic approach to advisory, Valerie developed THRIVE, a framework for family wellbeing. She also founded VERA, a retail venture that showcased Filipino designers and artisans in Europe.

Valerie earned her Masters in Public Affairs cum laude at Sciences Po in Paris on a Bourse d’Excellence Eiffel scholarship and her BA in Economics magna cum laude from the Ateneo de Davao University in the Philippines. She holds an Advanced Certificate in Family Wealth Advising (ACFWA) from the Family Firm Institute.
