My Story
From Corporate Leadership to Meaningful Connections
After more than 30 years building, scaling, and leading successful businesses in IT services, SaaS, technology distribution, and IT recruitment — including co-directing one of Geneva’s largest and most respected IT services companies — I decided to make a change.
I left behind the constant boardroom pressure to focus on what I genuinely enjoy: connecting the right people and companies to create real, lasting value.
Today, based in Spain, I work as a strategic matchmaker and trusted connector. I leverage my extensive European and international network to bring together innovative technology providers (especially AI-powered solutions), distributors, integrators, and potential clients.
My unique advantage comes from a rich multicultural background:
Spanish at heart, German by my mother.
Shaped by over 50 years living in Switzerland
Fluent in five languages: French, Spanish, German, English, and Italian
This combination allows me to bridge cultures, understand different business mentalities, and facilitate smooth, high-trust conversations across Europe and beyond.
Whether it’s helping an AgriTech startup find strong distribution partners, connecting a SaaS company with the right enterprise clients, or creating strategic synergies between complementary businesses, I take real pleasure in making introductions that matter — always with a human touch and a focus on mutual success.
