Hello!
A Little Bit About Me
I am a serial entrepreneur; my first company idea came at 20 years old, working in a boomerang manufacturing company. Having a passion for leadership, I initially managed a large retail sports distributor, then extended to managing operations of all stores (16 hyper stores and 3 warehouses). This experience then allowed me to train the teams to open internationally in Spain, Italy, and ultimately, moved me to Taiwan to prepare for expansion in Asia.
In 2002, I relocated to New Zealand and founded The France Oceania Group, a distribution company importing famous French brands and exporting local products to Europe. Through my vision, success and expertise in leadership, I was approached by the French Embassy to serve as an Economic Advisor consulting with French entrepreneurs looking to expand to the Pacific.
Since arriving in Canada in 2011, I, along with three partners, started in an investment company focusing on helping entrepreneurs by developing simple models for preparing and launching a business. Throughout my career, my work is woven by a common theme: dedicating my efforts to guide leaders to accomplish their dreams. I have been commended for “human management”, an approach where people’s happiness, growth, and interests all peak while economic results soar.
On a personal note, I reside on the South Shore of Montreal with my wife and our son. I am passionate about health, since I attended osteopathic school in Geneva, Switzerland, and have a Bio-Energetic Degree as well as a Hypnotherapy Certification. I actively volunteer with a few organizations, primarily with Air Cadets Canada and regularly practice Aikido, skiing, snowboarding and am currently learning to kitesurf. Fluent in French and English, I also have limited proficiency in Mandarin and hold three citizenships: France, New Zealand, and Canada.
