About Me

CURRENT MISSION

One life, live it!!!!!

ABOUT ME

I left my native Belgium in July 2011. Spent 2.5 years in Reunion Island, then moved in Paris though I've asked my then company to be transferred to Miami, currently live in Zürich and will soon move to Alicante.
I have 20 years of expertise in Beauty and Retail as Marketer, and teach Digital Marketing online to different universities (Columbia Business School, Indian School of Business, Northwestern Kellogg's, ...)
Euh well, beside that I am honest (read my opinion about CS), some will say (too) straightforward, reliable and demanding.

PHILOSOPHY

I have principles:
-if you want to fight, do it in mud wearing under wears
-life is even better when you are wearing pink (the color not the singer...)
-the most glitters, the best
-there is never enough chocolate in a cookie

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read about self development, but I never take the chance to buy a book. So anytime I am asking for a gift, it's a book.
I haven't red (yet) 1984 and it seems to be really big here on CS as in most people references.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When other are facing challenges, I'm always bouncing. Finding new ways and seeing things through a different engels

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I do?
Euh, when I have time I can show how to sew a button...
Recently, and thanks to my 2 Canadians CS/brothers, I started to cook. So now, I can pretend to be a little bit more than "Master in bowling water" :-)
