AURELIJA KUKYTE

Since landing in Switzerland in 2017, I've been captivated by the diversity of this country. My passion lies in contributing to meaningful projects, often preferring the impactful yet understated role behind the scenes. This drive has led me to supporting the initiatives of community-driven organisations that inspire and educate.I cherish the balance of adventure and tranquility in my life. I love long walks and seeking new experiences both in my personal and professional life. Yet, in moments when I yearn for peace, I turn to my sewing machines for some "off time".

“As women continue to advance in the workplace and step into roles of leadership, Lean In is a powerful force towards shaping a more inclusive society and forging paths to equality. New visions that integrate the female perspective can normalize the balance of power, free us from misconception and bias, and help women chart their own destiny. “When women thrive, humanity thrives."
Laura is a champion for women empowerment dedicated to nurturing and accelerating the careers of young female talent in the modern workplace. Drawing on her own experiences across the healthcare industry in Europe, North America, South America and Asia, she serves as a mentor to young women to help them navigate gender and professional challenges to succeed in their career.

ANNA YOSHIKAWA

With a background in video production and digital communication, I help organisations tell meaningful stories and connect with their audiences — visually and authentically.
I moved to Switzerland in 2023 and joined the Lean In Switzerland team in March 2025, supporting the community by creating video content and reels that inspire, inform and empower.
Passionate about purpose-driven projects and highlighting women’s voices, I also love travelling and discovering new cultures whenever I get the chance.
