Biography & career

Entrepreneurship has been at the heart of my career from the very beginning. I co-founded PRIVALIA with my brother Michael in 2011. Since then, we have built an independent real estate Maison founded on a simple ambition: to combine deep local expertise, trusted advice and a long-term perspective. What began as a family venture has evolved into a respected business while remaining firmly rooted in the values that shaped it from the outset. At PRIVALIA, I oversee the firm's strategy, growth, partnerships and innovation. I have always been particularly interested in how our profession continues to evolve and how we can further enhance the client experience. This vision also led us to become the exclusive partner of Hamptons International in French-speaking Switzerland, strengthening our ability to serve both local and international clients. Over the years, I have come to believe that our profession is built first and foremost on trust. Property decisions often involve far more than a financial asset. They touch on family, legacy, wealth preservation and life's important milestones. Such responsibility demands commitment, rigour and discretion. These principles have guided PRIVALIA since its inception and continue to shape the way we serve our clients today.
