People Orientated
I'm not your typical corporate candidate — and I'm okay with that.
Born and raised in South Africa, I've called Switzerland home for years. I graduated from École hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL), one of the world's leading hospitality schools, where I learned to perform under pressure, think on my feet, and deliver exceptional experiences.
For the past 13 years, I've built a career in the Swiss music industry — performing at major festivals, managing relationships, and growing a network that spans both local and international talent. Along the way, I became fluent in English and German, which has allowed me to connect with people across cultures and bridge gaps that others can't.
Now I'm ready for my next chapter. I'm transitioning into corporate sales, bringing with me something most candidates don't have — a genuine ability to connect with people, an instinct for reading a room, and 13 years of proving I can build something from nothing.
If you're looking for someone who thinks differently, communicates confidently, and isn't afraid to stand out — contact me at anytime.
