On my father’s side I come from an entrepreneurial family and on my mother’s side from a family of musicians. I am married and have three daughters who, like me, grow up bilingual in German and French. I spent 15 years of my life in Paris, where I graduated from high school and studied. The ties there are still very strong, both privately and professionally. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, sailing in summer and skiing in winter. I am very interested in music, be it as an active jazz pianist and keyboarder, but also as an eclectic listener of any kind of music.
