Background

About Vincent Gest

A Resilient Entrepreneur and Lifelong Learner My professional journey is defined by adaptability, continuous learning, and an unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth. From a promising cycling athlete to an international business professional and entrepreneur, I have consistently challenged myself to expand beyond my comfort zone. After completing my high school studies with a sports specialization in mountain biking, I pursued a professional path that defied traditional expectations. My early academic experience in business studies was complemented by international work experiences in Oxford and Madrid, where I worked as a waiter and developed crucial cross-cultural communication skills. In 2003, I joined the ISG Paris business school program, driven by an intense desire to learn and grow. My academic journey included an enriching exchange semester in Santiago, Chile, which broadened my global perspective. Graduating with honors, I embarked on a career in startups and multilingual environments. In 2009, I founded WEFIT, a venture that embodied my entrepreneurial spirit. The first three years were marked by significant challenges and learning experiences, followed by three years of strategic recalibration. Since 2015, WEFIT has stabilized and grown steadily, reflecting my commitment to sustainable business development. Beyond professional achievements, I maintain a holistic approach to life. I dedicate 10 hours weekly to personal training, continuously learn both professionally and personally, and prioritize a balanced lifestyle that enables me to navigate challenges with resilience and purpose.
