About Me...Seven lives in one!
My Background
I used to work for private banking and financial management companies in Geneva. In 1987, I decided to open a Service Company related to the field I worked in. My company was just established and ready to start, when the Stock Market Crash happened in October 1987. "The wrong moment to do the right thing". I stopped everything and decided to submit job applications. As I was a performer in theater acts in Geneva, I wrote to my cousin in Australia who was an actor at the opera to see if there could be a job for me behind the "coulisses". I also sent resumés to different potential employers and thought to myself, "The first answer I receive, I will take."
And then?! Destiny took over. The first answer came from a company in Brazil I used to work with in the past; but a little mistake in the address delayed the letter’s delivery (by one year!). The second offer arrived and in less than 3 months, I found myself in Beira, Mozambique in 1989. The civil war was still going on. Upon my arrival in Beira, I remember very well the trip from the airport to the house, because I sighed aloud “I am back home!” While I felt a level of comfort, it was at the same time strange and surprising to me...
