Born in Kenya to Indian parents and having spent much of her life in the UK, Kamini Patel is an International Marketing and Business Development consultant with over 26 years of global experience.
Her career journey has taken her from the UK to Belgium to Australia to Belgium to the USA to Belgium and now (maybe finally!) to Switzerland, shaping her expertise across diverse industries, including heavy-duty and light commercial engine sectors, industrial components, specialty chemicals, financial services, executive education, healthcare, and not-for-profit organizations.
Kamini’s leadership roles underscore her strategic focus.
As Vice President of Strategic Marketing at Cummins Filtration in Nashville, Tennessee, she oversaw global initiatives and led a highly productive international team that worked for diverse cultures and markets.
Later, in Brussels, she was the Managing Director of Power Systems Research Europe, providing high-quality research studies by experts for a wide range of automotive clients. Previously, in the UK, she made significant contributions to the newly transformed NHS organisation as Deputy Director of Podiatry Services.
A lover of travel, Kamini has embraced each international move with enthusiasm, each adding a unique chapter to her story. However, her relocation to Zurich marked a turning point. Transitioning from a leading spouse to a trailing one, she pivoted from a driven corporate career to a more dynamic world, supporting a mix of small and medium-sized businesses and startups. She joined Scantex AG, a startup, as Managing Director in 2017, which was primarily focused on growth in the Swiss markets. Over the past five years, she has advised various Zurich-located organizations, enhancing their marketing, business development, and customer retention strategies.
Kamini has driven business development for prominent programs like the INSEAD Product Management Executive Programme, Peak Product Advisory, and USTAX&Financial Services.
In 2023, she embraced a transformative opportunity, transitioning from permanent employment to serve as a consultant for UNICEF’s Public Funding and Partnerships Division, Geneva. In this role, she contributed to their High Value Marketing Project, identifying growth opportunities for growth worldwide.
This shift to a fully remote role unveiled new horizons and opportunities.
Today, Kamini continues to provide comprehensive marketing and business development consultancy services, guiding businesses through the complexities of the marketing landscape. She currently works for the CEO of Payment Vibes. https://paymentvibes.com/
Her commitment to the community is reflected in her active participation in volunteering organizations like Spooglers (Spouses of Google Employees) Professional Network and Chramscopf (a Brockihaus) in Zollikerberg. She has also supported IDCN, Medair Zurich, and PowerHub Zug to help Ukrainian refugees.
Although a native English speaker, Kamini can converse in six languages and cherishes diversity. When she’s not driving business growth or volunteering, she indulges in her passions for cooking, music, movies, and staying fit.
