The 41-year-old, who left his role as head of Fondation Idea last Feburary, will support CEO Carlo Thelen in the centralisation of a range of functions at the chamber, from finance and IT to marcom and business development/CSR. 

“With the adoption at the end of 2018 of its new CC2025 development strategy, the Chamber of Commerce is reaffirming its ambition to be the trusted partner of Luxembourg companies for which it is the spokesperson and legal representative,” according to a Friday communiqué posted by the Chamber.

It adds that the role of the organisation will be not only to “be the partner and service provider of choice for companies throughout their entire life cycle,” but also to bring value when it comes to “enhancing the attractiveness” of Luxembourg from an economic perspective.
