Very quickly, she made an almost 180° turn: from the world of diplomacy, she preferred the world of baking and pastry making. She joined Panelux to become branch manager from 2006 to 2008. In 2009, she went on an apprenticeship at the renowned Lenôtre bakery-pastry shop in Paris. After this experience, she returned to Luxembourg, joined PwC for nine months as a consultant, and finally joined Fischer in 2010.

She participated in the last tripartite meetings

Director since 2014, she is at the head of a family business created in 1913, an impressive network of bakeries in branches and franchises in three countries (Luxembourg, France and Germany).

She is equally convinced that having strong confederations and federations in Luxembourg will allow entrepreneurs to focus on the operational work that is their daily business.

Federating common interests and working together

Those around her describe her as committed, determined, frank and direct. But more than that, Carole Muller is a forward-looking boss who likes to get things done, make a contribution and give herself the means to do so.

Inspiring, Carole Muller makes us understand how important it is to ask questions, to dare, to reinvent oneself to become better, to be inspired by what is done beyond our borders, to import new ideas, and above all not to be afraid of failure. But also that it is essential to federate common interests, and above all to rely on one’s teams, to collaborate. Above all, she shows us that, to create, develop and move forward, you have to be passionate. As she is, beyond her family, for her company and its products, for couture.
