How did you hear about Open World Café?

Through Christer/Bial Liao

About Me:

Fluent in French, English, Spanish, German and Dutch, proficient in Italian and Portuguese, I have lived in France, USA, Ecuador, Spain, Belgium and traveled extensively through South America. After graduating in France with a degree in languages, I moved to Ecuador to teach French and English. There, I organized the first international exchange program for 8-12 year-old children between Ecuador, Belgium and France. Back in Europe, I continued my education with an MBA from the “Universidad Autonoma de Madrid”. My next challenge was with an international Consumer Electronics company in Spain and Paris, developing and managing their global planning process, later moving to a French leader in home appliances as their Director of Global Logistics

About my business:

Committed to a healthy & sustainable environment: a world that works for everyone; I strongly believe that large scale permaculture reforestation of degraded land in tropical regions can reverse climate change and provide sustainable work and food sources for local populations.

What I want:

I am passionate about health and nutrition. I enjoy jogging, Iyengar Yoga and Pilates and have completed 6 marathons. I live in Overijse, Belgium, where I'm married and have a son. I want to leave a great planet behind me.
