Hi Luisa, thanks for the interview! Please introduce yourself.

I was born in Bern, Switzerland, on a very snowy day at the end of March, 49 years ago. My parents are from Italy and had emigrated to Switzerland a year before. They made a great effort to have me come into the world in Switzerland, because otherwise they would have had to wait 2 years before they could bring me into the country. As they both had to work, I spent the first year and a half in the care of a Swiss family. Mom and dad would drop me off on Sunday night and pick me up again on Friday evening.

Unfortunately I do not have any contact to those surrogate parents who I would love to thank for their care of me. After that, I spent a lot of time with my grandmother in Naples, Italy, and came back to Bern at the age of 6, when I started Kindergarten. It was not easy, as I did not speak Swiss German any longer and the other children teased me and sometimes beat me up for being a “tschingeli”, a derogatory word for dirty Italian. But I did well in school nevertheless and eventually got into the WMB (Wirtschaftsmittelschule) without even taking the entrance exam which back then was a big deal. During that time I decided to acquire the Swiss citizenship.

Within a year of being in the workforce, I joined the EDA (Eidgenoessisches Departement fuer Aussendienst) and represented Switzerland in Florence, Beijing and New York City. I arrived in the US over 25 years ago and have been living here ever since. I now live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, just an hour and a half outside New York. I have my own business called “The Inner Contessa“.

I mentor women executives and entrepreneurs find their confidence so that they can become leaders in their careers, families and communities. I have an office in New York and PA and have also co-authored a best-selling book. I lecture and conduct workshops in Germany, Italy, Japan and the US and take a group of women on a retreat to Europe every fall.

Hi Fabian, stell dich am besten zunächst kurz vor, wer du bist, was du machst, woher du kommst, wo du jetzt wohnst, wie alt du bist etc.

Mein Name ist Fabian Kaempfer. Ich bin 24 Jahre alt und komme aus Deutschland. Ich bin 2009 im Alter von 22 Jahren in die USA gezogen um gemeinsam mit zwei amerikanischen Freunden ein Unternehmen zu gründen. In Deutschland entwickelte sich damals ein Trend im Bereich „Mass-Customization“ also der Individuellen Massenproduktion von Gebrauchsgütern wie z.B. Müsli.

In den USA steckte diese Bewegung gerade im Lebensmittelbereich noch in den Kinderschuhen – die perfekte Gelegenheit um eine Marktlücke zu füllen. Ende 2009 gingen wir mit www.Chocomize.com als erster Anbieter von individualisierter Schokolade in den USA an den Start.
