From a young age, Michael had the ambition and energy to create value and entrepreneurship, including starting his own small business at the age of 17. Passionate about computers and open source, he quickly learned various web languages and participated in many open-source projects such as Jeedom (home automation software).

He discovered and briefly explored Bitcoin in 2013, and then had the opportunity in 2018 to devote more time to it and to the blockchain. He quickly made important relationships in the French-speaking ecosystem as an influencer, business leader, trainer, developer, and investor. Michael continues to provide support as an investor, trainer, and consultant (UX, DeFi, process, etc.) on various projects, including “Jarvis” and “Mt Pelerin”. He likes to test new protocols and educate as many people as he can to advance the general adoption of decentralized finance.

At the end of 2019, Michael discovered RentToken, which at that time was still in beta and not well-known. As usual, he purchased a few tokens to test what Reant offered, but soon realized that he wanted to better understand the project, and fell in love with RentToken’s mission. He reached out to Rémy and Jean-Marc in order to get a deeper understanding, which he began to pass on to the various crypto communities in which he is active. This established him as a French-speaking trainer and contact point for RentToken.

After exchanges with the founders and the growing French-speaking community, RealT proposed that Michael become their official link with the French-speaking community. His relationship with RealT continued to evolve, coming to include work as a consultant on the field of DeFi (Decentralized Finance), decentralized blockchain tools, internal processes, and many other ideas from the culture of his native country, Switzerland.

In 2020 he officially became RealT’s COO in order to accelerate RealT’s rapid progress, and to take up challenges such as the L2 migration, the Aave partnership, and RentToken’s ongoing integration with the DeFi ecosystem.
