Mes Amis – Mes-a-what?
Mes Amis, french for “My friends”, is dating back to the noughties when I was brainstorming names for an advertising agency (that I have never founded).
The name Mes Amis – back in day as in the present – stands for being open-minded & transparent, communication on equal terms, being curious, being generous and being a good listener – basically all qualities you wish to expect from a dear friend.
Private
I am happy to live in Vienna, being married and being a devoted father of my soon-to-be-teenage son. In my spare time I love to go for a run in Schönbrunn Castle while listening to podcasts, scroll down for some of my favourites. And I am passionate about British Music on vinyl from the Nineties and Noughties. I strongly believe that music – like Design Thinking – has the power to unite people.
