Xin chào! I am a French-British citizen of 36 years, starting his life from scratch in Vietnam on Jan 5th, 2025! This decision marks a bold turning point in my journey, a choice born from deep self-reflection and a heartfelt connection to Southeast Asia, where I traveled solo for six months in 2024. After 6 years of success as the Sales Manager of Switzerland at Wonderbox - a European leader in the leisure industry with an annual turnover of 250M€ - I decided to live by the company motto: “Make your dreams come true.” I left behind a stable career and immersed myself in the vibrant cultures of Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia and Singapore.This journey didn’t just build lifelong memories but gave me clarity about what I truly needed in life. The answer was simple: Southeast Asia and more specifically Vietnam as I felt an instant connection with the Vietnamese people and their values: kindness, respect, unity, open-mindedness, happiness, loyalty. I enjoyed the dynamic environment and got to strengthen my spiritual side with a deep interest for Buddhism. This move is more than a career change: it's a life decision! I have given up my flat and sold all my furniture to make it happen. Despite the uncertainties, I am confident in my ability to rebuild, find opportunities that align with my values and be a part of Vietnam’s rising economy. What I bring to the table: - 12 years of Sales Leadership: Proven success in Retail, Travel and Leisure sectors across Germany, Switzerland and France. - Multilingual Proficiency: Native in French & English, fluent in German and starting to learn Vietnamese. - Cultural Intelligence: In-depth knowledge of Eastern cultures gained through travel and personal experiences, enabling a good understanding of diverse markets and people. - Key Traits: Determination, teamwork, a positive spirit and a willingness to take risks. What I am looking for: - Role: Sales and Marketing Director. - Industries: Retail, Travel, Leisure or Hospitality. - Location: Anywhere in Vietnam - mobile. - Salary: Open to negotiation. Fun fact about me: I bring the same energy and discipline to my other passion: I am a judo black belt with 13 years of practice, a Paris Region boxing champion (2011) and an enthusiastic marathon runner. If you are looking for a passionate, experienced leader who thrives on new challenges and brings a global perspective, I would love to connect and discuss how I can contribute to your team. Let's make an impactful change together!
