Uli Sigg on building one of the world’s largest collections of contemporary Chinese art
Uli Sigg first encountered the Chinese art scene back in the late 1970s, when he first visited the country. Over the next few years, that initial curiosity became a genuine passion, a passion which drove Uli to start collecting contemporary Chinese art throughout the 80s and 90s, as he served as Switzerland’s ambassador to China, Mongolia and North Korea. Today, his is one of the largest and most influential collections of Chinese art in the world. In this conversation, Uli tells Victor Aerni, CEO of PWM Asia, about what he calls his “encyclopaedic” approach to collecting and shares some advice on how to begin acquiring art and building a meaningful and coherent collection.

Pictet Report – How the GoTo Impact Foundation is tackling Indonesia’s toughest challenges
2024-02-07
Between 2015 and 2021, Monica Oudang served as the Chief HR Officer for Gojek, a ride-hailing start-up that in 2019 became Indonesia’s first “decacorn” – a private company with a valuation of over $10 billion. During that time, she saw firsthand how company culture, mindset and collaborative problem-solving can together produce transformational change. Today she is the chairperson of The GoTo Impact Foundation, an impact organisation attached to the GoTo Group (the new parent company above Gojek since its merger with Indonesian e-commerce giant Tokopedia). In this interview, Monica talks us through how the foundation operates and explains how lessons from running a rapidly growing start-up helped to establish the foundation during the early weeks of the Covid-19 pandemic.
