Story

Marie grew up in Värmland in the North of Sweden with her grandparents. This is where she learned how to achieve great things with ease and with a smile, and her pride of Värmland runs through her veins to this day.

She has travelled the world in business and created great success in many companies, but her greatest achievement was meeting her soulmate and love of her life who introduced her to her second home, Albania. This journey has led to many new insights, opportunities and deep learnings that add a deeper dimension to Marie’s professional knowledge and expertise.

Marie’s greatest assets are her energy, openness, bravery and heart. With these values, success grows. A golden rule that she lives by is:  “Give, and you will receive”.
