Interim, Transition & Project Manager

Work Experience

PROFESSIONAL CAREER ________________________________________

After studies in the German part of Switzerland, I became cosmopolitan due to professional opportunities. I started my career with Swatch in 1986 that entrusted me with increasing responsibilities such as Marketing & Sales Manager in Spain during the turn-around of the subsidiary, Manager New Products and Manager Special Projects at the group’s headquarters, reporting directly to N. G. Hayek. Beginning 1992 I joined the French Sommer-Allibert Group as Marketing Manager to contribute to the turn-around of their luxury garden furniture brand Triconfort. At the end of 1993, following a proposal from N. G. Hayek, I returned to Swatch to lead the marketing program for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. After this project I change to LVMH who offered me at the end of 1996 general management responsibilities as CEO of Champagne Veuve Clicquot and Krug in Switzerland. Beginning 2002, I was promoted Country General Manager LVMH Perfumes & Cosmetics in order to restructure the Swiss division and to relocate its brands on a single site. After completion of this mission, I was appointed Managing Director France of Switzerland Tourism to increase the subsidiary’s performance and to implement in Paris Sensations Suisses, the most important promotional event ever organized abroad by the Swiss tourist board. In June 2005 I settled in Geneva and have been working ever since as Interim, Transition & Project Manager.
