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.
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

Hear From My Client

"Karl was Guy Jean's client August 28, 2017, Karl was Guy Jean's client In our coaching period, Mr. Foglino balanced very well an approach of challenging existing assumptions of a business model and at the same time being hands-on enough to know what to focus on in order to gain sustainable success for one's company at this specific stage. I enjoyed working with him as his professionalism helps to have productive working sessions with according preparations and summaries. In the end, he has got a very good feeling for the end customers perspective - also as a result of his profound knowledge of customer segmentation frameworks."
