Ronnie Bohler
(President-Elect, 2024-25)

I’m honoured to serve as President of Rotary E‑Club Ibiza International for 2025–26. I joined the club inspired by Rotary’s spirit of service and the opportunity to make a positive impact – both here in Ibiza and around the world.

My professional journey began in Germany, where after graduating from secondary school I spent 13 months in social service at the Intensive Care Unit of the University Hospital of Freiburg. I then began a banking career with Deutsche Bank, earning my Financial Management in Cooperation qualification from the Bank Academy in Frankfurt. Recognising my skills in German, English, Spanish, and French, Deutsche Bank posted me to Ibiza – a move that shaped the rest of my life.

After my time in banking, I expanded my experience working in a law firm, tax bureau, and gestoría on the island. Since 2012, I’ve been self‑employed, assisting non‑tax residents with purchasing and managing holiday homes, navigating taxes, and arranging mortgages with Spanish and international banks.

In Rotary, I’m motivated by the belief that meaningful action and collaboration can truly make the world a better place. I have great respect for the dedication and vision of our founding president, Denise Klischan, and I’m committed to building on the strong foundation she has created.

Outside Rotary, my husband and I love travelling and discovering new places whenever we can.

Denise Klischan
(President, 2024-25)

Ramona Balota

I first joined Rotary in 2022 as a member of the Rotary Club of Ibiza, and in 2024 I became part of Rotary E-Club Ibiza International. Since then, I’ve contributed to projects on menstrual health and both local and international humanitarian aid. What drew me here was the open, international spirit of the club – a place where solidarity knows no borders and where energy and compassion meet real action.

This year, I’m honoured to serve as Secretary. My goal is to keep our connections strong, support the team with dedication, and help create the conditions for others to shine.

Professionally, I’m a lawyer and partner at Balota & Klischan in Ibiza, specialising in international real estate law. I work with clients from around the world and believe in offering both professionalism and warmth – values that carry naturally into my Rotary life.

What inspires me most about Rotary is how it turns empathy into action. I believe real change begins in the soul, and that through small but consistent gestures, together, we can bring light into many lives.

Emma Torres

Emma holds two professional roles:

As the CEO of Ibiza Inclusion Fashion Day and Inclusion Tour, she organizes and coordinates fundraising inclusive fashion shows.
Additionally, she works as an Educational Psychologist and Therapist, preparing teenagers with special needs to be independent in their adult lives.

Emma has been a member of the ReCII since its inception (2024), and was invited to serve a 2nd consecutive year on the Board.

She has always been interested in Rotary clubs worldwide and their charitable efforts. When Denise (Klischan, inaugural President) invited her to join, she did not hesitate.

While she hasn't had the opportunity to be involved in Rotary projects yet, she has previously launched various initiatives for children and adults with special needs, including equine therapy, canine therapy, inclusion workshops related to art, sports, and culture, and an augmentative communication project for children with cerebral palsy using adapted computers.

Outside of her professional and Rotary activities, Emma loves traveling to exotic countries, learning about different cultures, and dancing. She also enjoys going to the gym.
Despite having limited free time due to her young daughter, she values meeting friends for dinner or chats and cherishes seeing her daughter enjoying herself.

As a member of the Board of Directors, Emma believes in the potential to achieve great things together.
Her main goals for the upcoming year include initiating both local and international projects to help people in need. She hopes to contribute to the Rotary Club’s mission by actively participating in projects and increasing the club's visibility.

Fun Fact(s)

Emma has a deep interest in the spiritual world.

A movie that has recently inspired her is "Campeones."

Eva Esteve

I joined Rotary E-Club Ibiza International in 2024, when the club was first founded. From the beginning, I was drawn to its diversity, international outlook, and commitment to service. Over the past year, I’ve come to value not only the difference Rotary makes in communities, but also the strong bonds it creates among members. Wherever I go, I know there are friends in Rotary ready to help - and I’ll always be there to do the same.

This year, I’m honoured to serve as Treasurer. My background in banking management means I’m confident managing budgets, making sound financial decisions, and planning for long-term stability - skills I now bring to our club’s work. I want to build on the achievements of my predecessor and keep our finances strong so we can support even more impactful projects.

Through my work, I collaborate closely with Fundación La Caixa, which plays a vital role in supporting social causes. Rotary gives me another way to contribute - expanding my reach from professional partnerships into hands-on community projects. In Ibiza, that means helping smaller organisations thrive and supporting initiatives that might otherwise never get started. For me, Rotary combines purpose with friendship in a way that is truly special.

Marie Turri

I joined Rotary E-Club Ibiza International in 2024 with no Rotary experience at all - just a family rooted deep love for Ibiza and a good friend in the club who encouraged me to come along. From that very first meeting, I knew I’d found something special. Our group may be small, but it’s full of life: different personalities, energies, and perspectives all working together toward the same goal of making a difference. Whether we meet online or in person, these moments and the projects we share have become a valued part of my life.

This year, I’ve stepped into the role of Membership Chair. I want to make sure that anyone who joins feels the same sense of belonging I did - and that they share our values and enthusiasm for helping others. I’m always looking and listening for people who would be a natural fit for our club’s spirit.

When I first met our founding president, Denise, I realised I’d been carrying the essence of Rotary in me for years: a love of connecting people, of helping where I can, and of building community. My own life has had its twists and turns, and I know what it means to receive help - which is why I offer it whenever possible.

Outside of Rotary, I split my time between Cologne and Ibiza, working with Lufthansa Group since 2005, planning B2B events across the DACHB region.

Ignacio Reville

I serve as Sergeant‑at‑Arms for the Rotary E‑Club Ibiza International and, since late 2024, as our Youth Education Chair.

My background is in civil engineering, specialising in ports and maritime fields, and I have taught as an associate professor in two national Master’s programmes (MANEMPI and MG2PI).

I was a member of Rotary Club Alicante from 2009 to 2011, and rejoined Rotary in 2024 when I became part of this e‑club.

From the first meeting, I appreciated the mix of people, ideas, and energy we have here. I enjoy contributing as part of the Board and taking part in several of our project teams - it’s a chance to work alongside committed people on initiatives that make a difference locally and beyond.

As Youth Education Chair, I’m focused on helping young people connect with opportunities, develop skills, and see the value of giving back. Rotary offers such a rich space for growth - not just for the communities we serve, but for the members themselves.

Outside of Rotary, I enjoy music, walking, meditating, travelling, and meeting new people. My favourite film is The Untouchables, and while I’m a devoted Bruce Springsteen fan ("The Boss"), nothing moves me quite like live flamenco.

Philip Baumann

I’m based in Winterthur, near Zürich in Switzerland, and since 2015 I’ve had the privilege of spending four to five months a year on Ibiza. Professionally, I’m trained as an economist and business administrator, with a strong focus on business development and IT in healthcare. I speak five languages, mostly without an accent, and enjoy putting them to good use.

I’m a founding member of Rotary E‑Club Ibiza International (2024) and was immediately convinced by our club’s hybrid meeting concept, its deliberate openness and diversity, and the fresh entrepreneurial spirit of our leadership. 

Since March 2025, I’ve served on the Board, responsible for planning and organising our weekly meetings. I want to help the club grow in both numbers and quality, maintain its momentum, and continue shaping a contemporary, impactful model of Rotary.

Away from Rotary, I love Ibiza’s history, art, beaches, music, and cuisine and find myself passionate about protecting, regenerating, and sustainably preserving our beautiful island.

I’m happiest on my mountain bike with the Reynolds de Ibiza Team. I’m also the proud grandfather of two wonderful grandchildren, who keep my heart young!

Cat Milton

I joined Rotary E-Club Ibiza International to give back to the island I’m fortunate to call home, using the skills I’ve gathered over a lifetime in writing, photography, social media, strategy, and more recently, AI.

I’ve always been charity-focused, and the chance to combine that with service to Ibiza’s community - both human and environmental - felt like a natural fit.

As Publicity Chair for the second year running, I help to share our work through social media and the club website, raising awareness of our projects and of the E-Club model itself. You’ll often find me behind the camera at events, writing articles or updates, or quietly making sure the website reflects all that our members are achieving. I couldn’t single out one project as my favourite - each is unique and invaluable - and it’s simply a privilege to be involved in any way I can.

What inspires me most is seeing how the varied skills and experiences of our members come together to make a genuine difference. Rotary shows me every day that when people connect with purpose, lasting change is possible.

Billy White

I’m based in Ibiza, where I work as a Human Design Analyst – helping people discover how they’re wired to make decisions and live more authentically.

I joined Rotary E‑Club Ibiza International in 2024 after a chance lunch with friends led me to meet founding president Denise Klischan and reconnect with Cat Milton. They invited me to a club social, and I was instantly drawn in – a warm, English‑speaking group of people from all over the world, doing good and clearly enjoying themselves while doing it.

This year, I’ve stepped up as President‑Elect, learning the ropes from our current president and preparing to take on the role in 2026–27. My aim is to build on the work of those before me and keep our club strong, connected, and impactful.

What I love about Rotary is the mix of purpose and friendship – people from many cultures, united by shared values and a genuine desire to help. It’s a space where service meets joy, and I’m grateful to be part of it.

Denise Klischan

I’ve been a lawyer specializing in real estate law and running my own law firm in Ibiza since 2007.

I joined Rotary in 2012 because I’ve always believed in the Rotary spirit and its potential to make the world a better place. 

One of my proudest achievements has been co-founding the Rotary Action Group for Menstrual Health & Hygiene (RAGMHH). This global initiative helps keep girls in school and promotes healthier, more affordable, and environmentally friendly sanitary products. For me, being part of a worldwide project like this has shown me the true magic of Rotary. 

On a more local level, I also feel incredibly grateful every time we complete a project for the Ibiza community, giving back to the island I love so much.

As the founding president of the Rotary eClub Ibiza International, I’m so heartened to see how much this club has grown and how motivated our members are. My goal is to continue building a strong, united team where friendships and respect are key, all while staying true to Rotary’s values of community service.

Outside of my professional life and Rotary commitments, my biggest passion is spending time with people and hearing their life stories. I’m fascinated by the many different paths people take and what they make of their journeys. When I have time for myself, I enjoy sports, being around good people, and turning up the music loud.

As Bonnie Tyler sang, “All I can give is the way that I live.” I live by that philosophy and always strive to give the best of myself in everything I do, hoping to serve as a good example to others.

Fun Fact(s)

I count the steps when I climb stairs, but by the time I reach the top, I’ve forgotten how many there were! Don’t ask me why—I honestly don’t know.

Whenever I face a challenge, I play "Unstoppable" by Sia on high volume to remind myself that I can handle anything. Oh, and if you need a great book recommendation, I highly suggest Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. It’s a love declaration to life.
