Originally from Geneva, Switzerland, Laurent followed a traditional path from college to consultant in the health sector while in his heart was brewing a deep desire for more artistic endeavors.
In his mid-twenties, Laurent sold most of his belongings and took a leap of faith in moving to Los Angeles to pursue a dream in film and television acting.

After having achieved some success being cast in several TV shows and films for over ten years, Laurent was presented with the opportunity to take his performance skills on the road and turn scene study into
scenery study as a freelance tour director. In this role, Laurent was able to offer his public speaking abilities and share his enthusiasm for America, its culture, and unique landscapes for about twelve years.

With the devastation of the global pandemic in 2020 and its severe impact on the travel & leisure industry coupled with a growing desire for a new challenge, Laurent started to write a new chapter and has just completed certifications in Project Management (CAPM, Scrum Master PSMI and Product Owner PSPOI).

Laurent is excited to join the PMI Switzerland Chapter for learning and networking opportunities. With dual citizenship, Swiss and American, Laurent now lives between Los Angeles and Geneva.

In his free time, Laurent is an avid book reader, he visits art galleries and practices sports.
