Meet the Team: Célia

Célia Gimblett

Professional experience / background:

I was born in Belgium and I moved to Geneva when I was seven years old. I recently graduated from the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne with a Bachelor of International Hospitality Management. My professional experience includes internships in different sectors, such as : hospitality, human resources, real estate and communication. I most enjoyed working in the luxury watch industry. Now I wish to gain experience in marketing and more specifically in sponsoring.

Languages: 

My mother tongue is French but I learned English early on during my studies at the International School of Brussels. I also speak fluent German and I am working to improve my beginner’s Spanish.

Sport: 

I played a lot of different sports like horse-riding, tennis, badminton, swimming and dance but I was most interested in golf. I was part of the Swiss National Golf team for four years, which gave me the chance to visit and play incredible golf courses around the world. Although I don’t have as much time to maintain as competitive a level as before, I still love to play.

Beach or Mountain: 

Definitely beach! I love the warm weather and being able to relax. Mountain is nice too, but only with a good wood-burning fire nearby and a fondue.

Last dinner before …

A nice plate of swiss cold cuts and cheeses or a plate of my mother’s lasagna.

Motto/quote: 

"No matter how good you get you can always get better and that’s the exciting part!"
