About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Discover the world, meet its different cultures, learn something new everyday and explore new places to live in.

ABOUT ME
I get my hands dirty with innovation and business development, working with startups, SMEs and corporates. Member of the Geneva Hub of Global Shapers Community and ex Aiesecer. Frugal innovation addicted, rugby player, I love snowboarding in the Alps and surfing in Portugal. Coffee and TechCrunch made my breakfast.

PHILOSOPHY
Thinking global & acting local.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exploring places with locals and strengthen relationships with different cultures. A few summers ago, I traveled in SF and I had my first couch surfing experience. It was awesome! Visiting a place this way is so much better because you can really appreciate what you are seeing and experiencing.

Interests

Innovative processes and disruptive products, in love with startups, fundraising. Rugby, snowboard, canyoning, I spent some summers as lifeguard. I like walking in the nature, discovering wild landscape and new spots.
