About Michel Jordi

IGNITE THAT SPARKCreator of LE CLIP and the “Swiss Ethno Watch.” The Swiss Ethno Watch, introduced on the occasion of the 700-year anniversary for Switzerland in 1991, brought me international fame and recognition. I subsequently became a brand ambassador of Switzerland, my beloved country, and developed a complete line of products and accessories marketed under the “Spirit of Switzerland”. On November 15, 2017, I published my first book, my autobiography "Der Uhrschweizer", in German. French and English versions will be published in 2019.On November 19, 2018, I launched my 2nd book "Ignite That Spark - 10 Commandments of Entrepreneurship" at UCL London with its namesake song and video clip. Disrupting the traditional way we look at business through imagery and music is the purpose of this captivating and unique handbook. This has been my inspiration to approach life, freedom, work and the making of the business plan.In my career as an entrepreneur I established five companies creating 500 jobs in the process. My time is now dedicated to inspire and advise aspiring entrepreneurs to realize their own dreams.

It is an insight into the world of business where I share my own "real life experiences" and it gives a complete 360° view of entrepreneurship in a nutshell.This inspiring book has already been adopted by several prestigious Universities and international Business Schools such as IMD Lausanne, EPFL, HSG St. Gallen, EU Business School and BSL Lausanne.
