Welcome to the Roger Federer Foundation

Dear Friends,

After 14 years of dedicated service, Janine Händel, our first CEO since the Foundation’s Office was established in 2010, will be stepping down at the end of October 2024. She will be passing the torch to Maya Ziswiler, who brings extensive experience in philanthropy and social impact.

Under Janine’s leadership, the Foundation has achieved significant milestones, including the development of impactful grantmaking programs and the formation of a professional management team of committed experts. Her guidance has helped shape the Foundation’s identity as a respected stakeholder in the early education field, supporting innovative initiatives for vulnerable children.

I am deeply grateful for Janine’s outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment, and I want to express my sincere appreciation for all she has done.

Sincerely,

Roger Federer
President
