About roqs&Co.
Why roqs&Co.
“roqs” stands for rock and mountains. For what remains when much else changes, and for values you can touch: a yacht, a villa by the sea, a chalet in the mountains.
The “& Co.” stands for the people without whom none of this works. For our partners, our network and for you.

About me
“My start was like many others: a business degree, a plan and the question of where the journey should actually lead. The answer came sooner than expected, and it was on the water.
At just 25, I took on responsibility as Head of Sales for building the worldwide sales network of a shipyard for luxury dayboats. My brief was clear: open up new markets, win partners and grow the brand internationally. So I built a dealer network across three continents, reaching from Zurich via the Balearics to Dubai and Miami. I chose partners, negotiated contracts, opened markets and learned that the best deals are not made at the negotiating table, but where you truly understand people and their markets. Those years showed me how the yacht market works from the inside, from production to the final handshake.
I have always had a passion for investments and wanted to understand how value is created and preserved, beyond the water too. That is why I moved into real estate at Engel & Völkers. It made me realise how similar both worlds are. Yacht or villa, it is about passion assets: large investments that are rarely decided with the head alone and almost always with the heart as well.
This is exactly where my Master's in Entrepreneurship comes in, which I completed alongside. I didn't just want to sell, I wanted to understand how entrepreneurs think, assess opportunities and make decisions. Because the people I advise don't expect a salesperson, but a counterpart who understands their perspective, takes figures as seriously as feelings and sees a purchase as an investment too. That thinking now flows into every consultation.
An offer from the yachting world finally brought me back onto the water. As a dealer for Princess Yachts and Sanlorenzo, I had the privilege of representing two of Europe's renowned shipyards. This time I wasn't at the start of the chain, but right beside the client: at the first viewing, when configuring a new build, when assessing a used boat and at the handover, when a dream becomes reality. I experienced what moves buyers, where they feel unsure and how much trust such a purchase needs.
With roqs&Co. I bring all of this together: international experience from the shipyard, an eye for value from real estate, entrepreneurial thinking and a feel for the trade. I founded roqs&Co. because I want to advise without being tied to a brand, tailor-made and personal. So that in the end you don't find just any boat or any house, but exactly the one that suits you.”
