About Me
I didn’t follow a path — I carved one.


From nursing school in Switzerland to dive expeditions in the Red Sea, from building luxury resorts in the Philippines to sailing through typhoons on a boat I rebuilt myself — I’ve lived a life that doesn’t fit in a résumé.


My journey began in Switzerland and led me through Egypt, Thailand, and the Philippines, where I launched dive shops, constructed luxury properties, and managed fine dining restaurants. I’ve collaborated with environmental agencies, navigated complex permitting systems, and led teams of over 100 people across cultures and disciplines.


Every project taught me something new — from diesel engines to digital ordering systems, from underwater instruction to infrastructure recovery.


I don’t offer theory. I deliver solutions — shaped by two decades of hands-on experience in hospitality, construction, and marine operations.

Whether it’s building a dive center on a remote island or transforming a struggling restaurant into a boutique hotel,

I know how to adapt, execute, and deliver results.


If you’re facing challenges that demand resilience, precision, and real-world experience — I’m ready to talk.
