"I didn't study catering, I learned on the job", says Camille Wagner, manager of two restaurants in the family-run CWA group. In 2021, she opened her first restaurant, an Italian place in Schifflange, which was also the first restaurant in the CWA retail group. "I thought it wouldn't be so difficult to open a restaurant. I was wrong, it's very hard, but I love it."

At 25, Camille, the eldest of three children, works closely with her father. "I love working with my dad. He's open to our ideas," she says. Her role goes beyond running the restaurants; she's involved in various family projects, including an interior design shop and a flower shop. "I love learning and being involved in new things.”

Camille focuses on human resources and managing 30 employees. With experience, her leadership style has become "more authoritarian.… you have to show the right direction."
