Danielle Cotten, 33, turned vegan 5 years ago after being vegetarian for nearly 15 years. She is passionate about driving the vegan movement forward as the communications and campaign manager of Swissveg - Switzerland's largest and oldest lobby for vegetarians and vegans as well as the founder of the V-label. Before her time at SwissVeg, she received a master's degree in Organizational Sociology, lived abroad for a few years and gained working experience in various fields, including event management and audit. Danielle is happiest trail running with her mountain dog up in the Swiss alps, lifting weights or enjoying delicious plant-based food with friends. 

About SwissVeg from the official website: Since 1993, Swissveg is the largest representation of vegetarians and vegans in Switzerland as a politically independent organization. SwissVeg works to permanently reduce meat consumption and make a plant-based, responsible lifestyle an attractive and healthy alternative accessible to everyone. Swissveg is characterized by in-depth information and a wide range of events. For experts and consumers, the organization has established itself as a leading point of contact in all aspects of vegetarian-vegan lifestyle.
