About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Join the family business and launch a new fashion brand

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm a 30 years old swiss guy.
Easy going, tidy and non-smoker.
I like to be with people and chat or go for a drink. Like to laugh and take the life in a positive way.

I used to be a engineer in telecommunication but I'm changing career as I've entered the family business.
I love fine food with a very good wine.
I like the beer in UK more than I do in Switzerland, less gas and softer to drink...

I like to speak about new ideas, improvements for anything or new business opportunities...

I'm working on my brand, want to beginn with fashion and always need advice or ideas, let's speak about this as well...

I really like to meet new people, to discover new cultures and very different way of life...

I'm looking forward to meet you, with your stories and ideas !

PHILOSOPHY

Take it easy but work to reach your personnal goals...

No effort bring no satisfaction and the more you do, the more you want to do !
