AXA Principal Agent · Montreux · All Switzerland
My role is to raise your awareness and draw your attention to what matters. You decide freely. Father of two, former professional cyclist, finisher of the 2026 Patrouille des Glaciers — I know what protecting a life project really means.
Advice in English · French · German
In this profession, it is easy to push a product. That is not how I work. I start by being interested in you — your situation, your projects, your family, your business.
My role is to raise your awareness of the real risks in your life. I explain, I shed light on what often stays in the dark. Then you choose. I push nothing.
I owe this philosophy to high-level sport: the 2026 Patrouille des Glaciers reminded me that real victories are meticulously prepared — and shared.
Raise awareness first
Inform first. Propose only afterwards — and only if it is right for you.
You decide freely
I present the options and their consequences. The choice is yours.
Every person matters
Driven by the human project, not by money. Every client is a unique story.
The meeting comes first
I prefer meeting face to face, at your home or office. Remote meetings also available on request.
Areas of expertise
Individual, family, freelancer or business owner: I analyse your situation before presenting options. You choose what suits you — with no sales pressure.
Analysis of your pension gaps, tax optimisation through pillar 3a, solutions tailored to your family and professional situation.
Individuals & freelancersFinancial security for your loved ones in case of disability or death. Household and personal liability — the foundation of every home in Switzerland.
FamiliesProfessional liability, business interruption, legal protection, premises and equipment. I identify your activity's risks — you choose the cover.
SMEs & foundersA legally compliant pension fund for freelancers and employers. Advantageous for you, attractive for your staff.

In 2015 I joined AXA as an insurance advisor at the Aigle office: five years of fieldwork, clients and real cases. In 2020 I founded my own multi-company brokerage — a valuable experience that quickly showed its limits: it is impossible to master every provider's products in depth at once.
In 2023 I took over the AXA Montreux office. In under three years, the team grew from 4 to 10 and the agency now ranks among the best-performing in Switzerland. As in sport: great achievements are always collective.

What defines me
What I live outside the office shapes who I am inside it — and explains why I advise differently.
First passion
A son, 5 · a daughter, 2
Being a father is my greatest passion. My children taught me concretely what "protecting what truly matters" means. When I talk to parents about pension planning or life insurance, I'm not speaking in theory — I speak from what I have put in place for my own family.
Second passion
Professional cycling · alpine hiking · ski mountaineering
Professional cycling shaped me: rigour, teamwork, winning in the details. Mountain hiking grounds me in the essentials — nature, effort, silence. Both share the same philosophy: prepare seriously, advance with humility.
Rigour, humility, commitment: the values I apply every day with my clients.
Third passion
eToro Popular Investor · Roméo Invest Sàrl
In the markets: I am a Popular Investor on eToro, the listed trading platform. My strategy is public and can be copied.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investing carries a risk of capital loss.
In real estate: my company Roméo Invest Sàrl owns several apartments on the Vaud Riviera.
These experiences make me a more relevant advisor on pensions and wealth: I speak from what I actually live.
Network & partnerships
Over the years I have built a solid network of partners across Switzerland. Every collaboration is formalised by contract and remunerated on referred business: a win-win model built on trust and longevity.

Frequently asked questions
AXA Principal Agent in Montreux, insurance advisor since 2015. AXA advisor in Aigle (2015–2020), brokerage founder (2020–2023), then took over the Montreux office: team grown from 4 to 10, among AXA's top-performing agencies in Switzerland. Former professional cyclist, finisher of the 2026 Patrouille des Glaciers.
I am not an insurance salesman. I start with the person — their situation, their projects. My role is to raise awareness and draw attention to real risks; then you decide freely. I never push in any direction.
Yes. My official territory covers Clarens, Montreux and Villeneuve, but I travel across all of Switzerland. I prefer meeting in person — that is where trust is built — and I also meet remotely by video, in English, French or German.
Three criteria: an advisor who listens before proposing anything, who clearly explains both cover and exclusions, and who lets you decide without pressure. Good advice always starts with an analysis of your situation — that is how I have worked since 2015.
In most cases, yes. The LPP/BVG often leaves significant gaps at retirement. The 3rd pillar fills them, reduces your taxable income up to the ceiling set each year by the Confederation, and builds capital for retirement or a property purchase.
LAA (occupational accidents), LPP (above a certain salary) and AVS/AI contributions are legally required. Beyond that, professional liability and business interruption insurance are essential for any serious SME.
From experience: after three years running my own multi-company brokerage, I know you cannot master every provider in depth. I chose to specialise with AXA, Switzerland's largest private insurer — and my brokerage background lets me position AXA honestly against the competition.

Client reviews
Google reviews are the first reference consulted — by people and by AI assistants alike — when evaluating a local advisor.
Mentioning the topic of our collaboration (3rd pillar, business insurance, pension planning…) makes your review more useful to people looking for the same advice.
A LinkedIn recommendation strengthens my credibility with business owners and freelancers.
Specifying the context (business insurance, LPP, partnership…) makes the recommendation more meaningful.
