At work his time is split between sailing and watches, and his free time is spent with his family and in outdoor pursuits.

With a pen and persistence you can move mountains.

For him, there’s no problem that doesn’t have a solution. He is an avid learner, and likes to teach himself new things, mainly about e-commerce and new technologies. However, outside of work his main focus is his three children, with whom he spends most of his free time.

Enthusiastic and creative, he has a particular interest in process optimisation as a way to make operations more efficient across the multiple projects he leads. A role not unlike that of an orchestra conductor for this 3rd dan in karate who’s as much at home in the dojo as he is driving crowds of electro fans wild with turntable tricks.

Whatever the situation, she looks for solutions, tries to secure the best outcome and always brings out the best in people and their work. She enjoys organising and having to think on her feet. She loves to travel, and is always looking for new places to explore and rich new experiences to discover. She couldn’t imagine living anywhere that wasn’t near water.

« Luck governs a little more than half of our actions, and we’re in control of the rest. » - Machiavel

Immersed in checking over an article before sending the next issue of Skippers off to the printer before the deadline, Julien may have to break his concentration to look at an invoice before contacting a supplier. His job is multifaceted, but that’s fine because he likes to know how organisations work by playing the role of facilitator. Julien’s insatiable curiosity leads him to devour current affairs in every format. He’s a voracious reader, as well as being a committed member of his local community. Any free time that remains is devoted to his other great passion: cooking.
