With over 20 years of experience in the sports industry, I am a passionate and versatile professional who combines diverse skills and expertise in journalism, management, law, and humanities of sport. I hold a BA in Journalism, an Executive MBA in Investor Relations, and a Master of Arts in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport (the FIFA Master). As the founder and CEO of iWorkinSport, I organise the first truly international career fair focused on the sports industry, connecting employers and talent, and promoting education and career growth in sport. Since 2017, we have enabled some of the most renowned sports organisations to meet, interview, and recruit students and alumni from the most prestigious sport management programmes in the world. I also run JF Sports Consulting, a firm specialised in helping companies innovate and develop business within the sports marketplace, leveraging my close contact and access to most International Sports Federations. Based in Lausanne, the heart of the Olympic Movement and home of several International Sports Federations, I work with clients from various sectors and regions, covering areas such as strategy and business development. My mission is to create value and opportunities for the sports industry and its stakeholders, using my multilingual skills, global network, and entrepreneurial spirit.
