Preppy Business Casual: A Blend of Fred Perry and Chicago Cubs Flair

Preppy Business Casual: A Blend of Fred Perry and Chicago Cubs Flair

This look blends Fred Perry’s sporty edge with classic preppy style, topped off with a Chicago Cubs cap that adds a touch of laid-back American sports culture.

The red jacket, checkered shirt, and striped tie create a sharp yet casual vibe, while the khaki pants and cap strike the perfect balance.

It’s an ideal smart-casual business style, merging professionalism with preppy values of semi-formal elegance and a hint of personal flair.

Leveraging Storytelling: From European Product Labels to Corporate Presentations

Leveraging Storytelling: From European Product Labels to Corporate Presentations

I am always impressed by how regions in Europe effectively use storytelling through local product labels.

Similarly, I use storytelling in the production of corporate presentations, focusing on three key subjects in business-to-business communication: the management, the product or service, and the sender’s market. To this, I add the financial aspect and the offer, elevating the narrative.

In this picture from my breakfast in Nice, a product from Savoie features a distinctive label known as the ‘Savoie’ or ‘Savoyard’ quality mark. This label guarantees that the products are authentically made in the Savoie region and adhere to high standards of traditional craftsmanship and quality.

“A gentleman stepped into the hall of mirrors, where the lady guided him to his own reflection.”

A special session in Nice, France, with my favorite personal coach to figure out my next steps in both business and personal development.

After three years of running my own business—with a track record of taking companies to the stock exchange, conducting multiple share issues, handling numerous investor relations assignments, serving as CFO, being a board member in public companies, managing M&A projects, and much more—it’s time to develop the next phase. Let me be guided to that next step after a full day of workshops.

An evening in the old city, at a bistro in the main square, should contribute to the discussion as I remain open to new opportunities.

Balancing Business Acumen with Creative Communication: A Distinctive Approach to Business and Style

In my professional approach, I strike a balance between formal business management and creative communication to drive development and deliver impactful presentations.

This duality is also reflected in my personal style, where a blend of formal attire with a creative touch allows me to stand out with character.

It’s an elegant and bold look, featuring a pink blazer that adds a touch of sophistication and energy. Paired with a matching tie, the white trousers offer a nice contrast, creating a harmonious gradient.

Signals of Style: How a Hat Sets the Tone

Signals of Style: How a Hat Sets the Tone

I like to stand out and contribute with personality, intellect, knowledge and style. Wearing a hat today isn’t something you see often anymore—hat racks have all but disappeared.
So, I’ll be using the door knob as one. It sends a clear signal: this meeting room is occupied, just as when I’m diving into a background presentation during a business development meeting I’m advising on.

As I mentioned, a hat sends signals.
