I am a Swiss national born and raised in Montreal, Canada. To escape the cold, I moved to Madrid in 2007 where I taught English and founded “I Can” Language Academy. I coached high net worth individuals and business directors in English and effective communication.

I moved to Mallorca in 2012 where I pursued a career in yachting which gave me the skills of high-end guest services and interior management in a fast paced and dynamic environment. On yachts, attention to detail and high standards are paramount to ensure a high-end guest experience.  After more than a decade at sea I have retired my sea legs for a life on this beautiful island. I now use my skills and network gained on luxury yachts managing short-let properties.

What drew you to partnering with Pass the Keys?

As the market leader and benchmark provider in the UK for short term lets, Pass The Keys immediately stood out to me. Having already run my own business, I know that I couldn´t provide all business functions from day one up to the standard I´m used to, if starting the traditional model. However, Pass The Keys has a replicable franchise model with a large team of dedicated professionals supporting me at every step of the journey.

In business, I have always provided a high quality, friendly, efficient and professional service. All my interactions with Pass The Keys team have met this key criteria so working with them has been the obvious choice. I now aim to bring the success of their operation in the UK to Mallorca, Europe’s most popular holiday destination.
