About Guy Jean Foglino
I have successfully developed my own sustainable businesses ranging from import/distribution of French Wine & Delicatessen, creating an Independent Financial Advisory firm to launching operations for global luxury, fashion and cosmetic brands in new territories across Europe & North America. My exposure to many different geographies, cultures & languages is, I believe, a precious asset.
At GFI, I contributed by providing considered business & financial advice to our clients.
I was also assisting investment communities wishing to enhance returns & find exit opportunities.
As a Business Innovation Coach for the European Commission since 2015, I am also keen to add value to startups & SMEs that are looking for growth.
My career includes such highlights as:
* Business Innovation Coach for the European Commission for startups & SMEs until today
* Built (& profitably sold) GFI over 25 years to be a respected & trusted Financial advisory firm to SME portfolio
* Effective & rapid switch from import to financial services at VIP München
* Built (& profitably sold) GF Import & Marketing Services as a vehicle to open the German market to French wine, champagne & gourmet food producers
* Launched & tailored Yves Saint Laurent business targeting German+Austrian market
* Drove Courrèges Hommes’ export drive to USA, Canada & Europe, doubling North American turnover in one season
* Launched Franklin Mint’s Belgian operation, building $8m turnover within the first year & reduced costs in French operation
* Wide product marketing responsibility for Avon European Operations worth $60m pa & launched a new jewellery line with a development budget of $15m.
