Edi was the soul and driver of the Holcim Foundation’ success.
We met in mid-2002, introduced by Barbara Dubach who promoted the idea of a company sponsored foundation for sustainable construction. I was invited to be one of the few outside founders, neither company nor Swiss.
Edi proved to be a warm, relaxed and savvy negotiator to move innovative proposals though his cautious and inward-looking top management. Thus, he got the initial Awards concept branching out with a periodic Forum and a series of first-class publications. Year after Year, Awards cycle after Awards cycle, CEO changes and company merger, great juries and superb awardees, Edi built the Foundation in a beacon for the necessary leading edge of sustainable construction.
And always simple, positive, smiling and available.
But all of a sudden no more !
Only a lasting inspiration in our hearts
