With a Master’s degree in International Business obtained in 2004 and a passion for sports, sales, and customer/partner relations, Antoine completed his final internship in the Sponsorship department of a major automotive brand in Bern.

He then joined a large agency in French-speaking Switzerland, where he gained 14 years of experience. During this time, he was responsible for canvassing, prospecting, presenting, negotiating, convincing, and signing future partners for all the sports and cultural events organized by the agency, while also taking part in operational activities.

In 2019, entrepreneur at heart, Antoine decided to create his own company, Happing SA, putting his experience and expertise at the service of renowned sporting events to increase their chances of finding new partners supporting them in their organization.
Having already worked on PlanetSolar more than 10 years ago, when Raphaël contacted Antoine to take part in the SolarStratos adventure, Antoine did not hesitate. He is now the Marketing & Sponsoring Director.
