Hi, I'm Raphael!

My journey into the meaning of life began over 50 years ago. I was raised in Antwerp, Belgium, in a family of watchmakers. While my family repaired clocks, I was drawn to repairing “inner time,” a theme I bring to life through the character of Horatio in my story, The Man Who Lost Track of Time.

As a Board Member and Diplomate of Logo-Philosophy at the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy, I integrate logotherapy, a meaning-centered approach to leadership, into both my storytelling and my work in global business across the pharmaceutical, medtech, and consumer goods industries.

I hold dual bachelor’s degrees in Communications and Business Administration from European University and an MBA in International Business from the University of San Diego. I am fluent in English, French, and Dutch and am also a passionate traveler, outdoorsman, and active community contributor.

I’m an undergraduate at Ramapo College, passionate about helping people find meaning and grow as future leaders. Seeing firsthand in college how soon-to-be professionals struggle to reach their potential while staying true to themselves inspired me to continue this company's mission: empowering emerging leaders by running initiatives that help them develop leadership skills and thrive at every stage.
