Career

Born Dominique Matt on 6 October 1978, she grew up in Mauren, Liechtenstein. She took the surname Gantenbein following the marriage of her mother. She progressed into teaching, studying at the Intercantonal College of Special Education in Zurich, Switzerland. Gantenbein then worked as a special education teacher at several schools, before studying herself for a Master's degree in Business Administration in Entrepreneurial Management at the University of Liechtenstein.[1][2]

Following the 2017 general election in Liechtenstein, Gantenbein was named as the Minister of Home Affairs, Education and Environment in the new parliament on 30 March. She was one of two members of the Patriotic Union named as Ministers in the coalition Government.[3] She has since met with her education counterpart in the Government of Austria, Sonja Hammerschmid, regarding ongoing cooperation in work with school leavers.[4] Gantenbein has also taken up her seat at the European Union Home Affairs Council as part of her work as Interior Minister.[5]

After her wedding to Daniel Hasler in October 2018 she took her husband's family name.[6]
