Over the past year, I, Dr. Johanny A. Pestalozzi, have navigated a difficult chapter involving targeted cyber-harassment intended to damage my professional and personal integrity. While this has been deeply challenging, it has also sharpened my understanding of digital risks, psychological resilience, and the systemic vulnerabilities that migrant women and founders often face in leadership roles.

This experience with cyber-harassment and reputational attacks via social media does not define me, but it has reaffirmed my commitment to building transparent, purpose-driven, and future-ready solutions at AtabeyX and within the organizations I work with. Integrity isn’t just a value, it is the foundation of my practice and daily work.

I am addressing this matter through legal channels and in collaboration with the appropriate authorities. I am also happy to provide references who can speak to my character, professionalism, and values.

I am currently in the process of relocating to the United States 🇺🇸 to explore new opportunities with international organizations while continuing to expand AtabeyX. In addition, I am working on my upcoming book and developing thought leadership in:
🔵 Corporate Sustainability Future Readiness™
🔵 Sustainability-Driven Digital Innovation®
🔵 DeepTech & Sustainability Ventures©
🔵 Resilience in the Digital Age Workshops

Having experienced cyber-harassment and targeted online disinformation, I deeply understand the critical importance of psychological safety in the digital space. In response, I launched a social innovation initiative at AtabeyX: Strengthening Resilience & Female Leadership in the Digital Age.

I am now expanding this program in New York City through collaborations with NGOs and public–private partnerships that support women and girls in becoming confident, empowered leaders.

I look forward to building meaningful cooperations and contributing to commercially sound projects of high environmental and societal impact, while staying closely connected to my networks in Germany, Switzerland, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and across the globe.

More reflections are available on my LinkedIn Profile and through my page, Female Leadership Matters. Thank you.
