Leo graduated in 2014 from the SDA Bocconi School of Management with a Master's degree in Luxury Management. 
Growing up on the island of Saint Barts provided him with the unique advantage of being surrounded by the most up-scale clientele and the most beautiful yachts in the world. While appreciating impeccable yacht designs, his passion for this industry was also empowered by his love for sailing, a sport that was transmitted to him as family heritage. Up until this day he keeps on pursuing his passion by participating in important regattas around the world.  For him, aesthetics and yacht designs are inextricably connected with performance and therefore, he fosters candid relationships with clients focused on such values. Being part of the new generation of brokers, his expertise working with IYC aims to be focused on three main axes: Innovation, Transparency and Honesty.
