The power woman

By Pascal SteinwachsMike Zenari Switch to German for original article

Tessy Antony de Nassau has an extraordinary biography. We talk to her about her time in the military, her time as a princess and her current work as a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist.

We meet Tessy Antony de Nassau on a foggy Saturday morning on the eighth floor of a luxury hotel in the capital. When we arrive, she has just finished breakfast. She had even had a place setting laid out for us, but unfortunately we're notorious breakfast grouches. However, we are always up for an espresso, which we drink in the Panorama Bar, where we also conduct the interview.

The only problem: Tessy Antony de Nassau has such an extraordinary and sprawling CV that we don't know where to start. So let's start with Fashion Week in Pirmasens, where the entrepreneur was present the day before with her fashion brand Human Highness.

She only stops off in Luxembourg to eat with her family and to talk to us before travelling on to Zurich in the afternoon, where she now lives with her new husband and her children.

From there, it's just a stone's throw to the World Economic Forum in Davos, where the 39-year-old has been attending for years now. This is part of the Swedish Lunch, where the focus is generally on sustainability and innovation in particular, and where the most pressing problems of our time are discussed.
