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.
