ABOUT ME

I am a seasoned and experienced entrepreneur with a strong background in sales and marketing. In 2009 at the age of 26, I launched my first business, a marketing and entrepreneur coaching agency, and used a new business model to develop a network of highly qualified freelancers, which was extremely innovative at the time. In 2010, I launched a second venture which offered a discounted ski pass and was the first to market with this type of offer and resulted in immediate success. I ran each of these businesses until 2016 when an exceptional opportunity allowed me to sell my company to a major media group in Switzerland.

I am a devoted husband to my wife Christel whom I married in 2018. She is a finance expert, yoga teacher, and holistic therapist. She inspires me every day to help others and live a fulfilling life. My wife and I moved from Switzerland to Thailand in 2016 and Bali in 2017 to experience new cultures and lifestyles and fulfill our passion for travel. While in South East Asia, I was able to continue my work coaching entrepreneurs through their startup and growth phases. I also launched a cycling website, creating the biggest cycling community in the French speaking part of Switzerland and later sold that site in 2018 before to move to the US.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT

A native of Switzerland, I’ve traveled to over 25 countries, lived in Thailand and Bali, taken a year to tour Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zeland and India and I currently live in the United States. My love for travel, my experience with a variety of cultures, people, and languages help me see the world with a different perspective.

GIVING BACK

Volunteering and giving to great causes is an important and valuable aspect of my life as an entrepreneur. I’ve supported different projects for charities like the “EcoFranc” program from Summit Foundation, friends traveling the world distributing water filtration through the “Riding for Water” campaign, and free marketing services to Seven Association, an organization that promotes sports activities for handicapped people. One of my favorite ways to give back is by providing free mentoring for aspiring business owners who want to make a positive impact on society or in support of the environment. I have had the honor of working with amazing non-profit organizations and individuals that are making our world a better place every day.

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING

When I’m not working on a new idea or a new project, I enjoy participating in endurance sports. I am an Ironman finisher (Zurich), 7x Ironman 70.3 Finisher (Aix-en-Provence, Vichy, Rapperswil, Phuket, Oceanside, Superfrog and La Quinta), Alpe d’Huez triathlon L finisher (1.9k swim, 130km 3300+ bike, 21km run), multiple Etape du Tour Finisher (2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) and have completed some of the hardest one-day cycling events in the world, including La Marmotte (170Km, 5000+), Maratona dles Dolomites (138km, 4500+) Doi Inthanon Challenge in Thailand, and The Grand Raid (130Km, 5000+ mountain bike race). Aside from the performance aspect, I value the camaraderie formed during endurance events. I like the thrill of discovering my limits and working to overcome even the toughest mental challenges. I take pride in having never given up or DNF (did not finish) on any of the over 50 events I have participated in.
