Daniel Matter

Today, Daniel Matter, who is responsible for projects in South Sudan, Myanmar and India, crosses larger bodies of water for work by plane than he did 25 years ago by rowing boat and canoe. But rowing (on Lake Silvaplana in this picture) is something that Daniel has fond memories of though: he says that it taught him endurance, team spirit and a sense of balance. It’s no wonder that Daniel gives sport such a key position in his projects now, with all the life lessons it teaches. However, he doesn’t have much time for rowing any more. But as a member of the management team, Daniel helps to steer SAD.
