About

Coming from the hospitality industry and working in luxury horology, I draw a parallel between those two industries: both relies on Service to create an exceptional experience in every step in order to meet, and exceed, customer satisfaction and secure their loyalty. Indeed, with the abundance of competitors, the continuous innovation in e-commerce, as well as more sophisticated than ever customer knowledge, the product itself is no more enough.  Many aspects make up the Service, and at its heart are humans. People who represent the company are crucial: they play the role of ambassadors. This is the very reason why I firmly believe that every organisation must pay a special attention to the continuous training and upskilling of their ambassadors.
