Members of the Foundation Board

Adrian Ionescu, President, Epalinges VD

Department: Business-Contacts

I bring direct experience in helping victims of traumatic stress at the Boulder Crest Retreat Foundation and Hope Ranch in the United States with the David Lynch Foundation, providing valuable support to veterans, refugees, and abuse victims. I am also the former president of

AIESEC for Romania and Ireland (the largest youth-run non-profit organization). I will share my expertise in human-centered change, non-profit organization management, fundraising, workshop design, and facilitation

Bianca Gubser Keyman,

Vicepresident & Co-founder, Rüschlikon ZH

Department: Business Development & Fundraising

In all levels of society, there is a growing need to strengthen well-being, mental stability, and educational strategies that more centrally support our young people in their humanity. With my commitment, I aim to establish the successful, politically neutral, and non-denominational charitable work of the David Lynch Foundation in the USA in Switzerland, in accordance with the Swiss Foundation Code. Through awareness-building and fundraising, consciousness-enhancing programs, particularly the evidence-based deep relaxation technique of Transcendental Meditation, should be made available to those in need, social institutions, and educational organizations.”

Being invited to the Board of Directors of the David Lynch Foundation Switzerland is an immense honor for me.

I am determined to promote mental health and well-being, to help everyone find peace and balance in their lives, and I look forward to contributing to the Foundation's mission. My experience in networking and promoting collaborations will help expand the reach and impact of the Foundation's work in Switzerland

My area of interest is the connection between art, creativity, and consciousness.
