Montreux, Vaud, Switzerland
20+ years of B2B commercial development in premium environments — 4-5* hospitality, business services, industry — across French-speaking Switzerland and neighbouring France. My career bridges two worlds rarely combined: rigorous commercial expertise (prospecting, negotiation, key account management) and the culture of excellence from luxury hospitality. This dual background allows me to speak both my clients' language and the language of results. Key highlights: • CHF 6M portfolio managed independently • +35% portfolio growth over 5 years at Elis Suisse • +66% revenue growth in 2 years at Groupe GM Switzerland • 6 years as Banqueting Manager at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace 5* • Executive education at IMD Lausanne (Top 5 Business Schools in Europe) Fluent in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian — a direct operational advantage in Switzerland's multilingual market. Currently open to opportunities in B2B sales development, sales management or commercial leadership in a premium environment in French-speaking Switzerland or neighbouring France. → [email protected] | +41 79 864 23 76
