Vreni Spoerry-Toneatti

politician Switzerland

Vreni Spoerry-Toneatti was a pioneering Swiss politician and businesswoman, who broke barriers as the first woman in several prominent roles, including the Audit Committee of Horgen and later the National and Cantonal Council. Born into a family of builders, she initially embraced a traditional role as a housewife and mother before being drawn into politics by the women's movement of her time. Known for her financial acumen and sparing approach to municipal finances, Spoerry became a significant voice for fiscal responsibility within the liberal party. She served as a board member for several major companies, including Swissair, and was involved in the community, even supporting Swissair employees in distress after the airline's collapse. Her contributions to Swiss society and politics have left a lasting legacy, especially for women in leadership.
