Sector of activity:

I was delighted to receive Luca. The experience was incredibly productive, and its smooth running has definitely made me want to act as a host entrepreneur again in the future.


Period of exchange: 07/2009 until 09/2009
Duration of exchange: one month



Physician Luca Poli, specialist in plastic surgery, wanted to create a healthcare complex with services at affordable prices, including hospital care, a spa resort and a wellness boutique. Luca was looking for an exchange which would provide him with the necessary skills and marketing know-how to ensure the success of his business. Successful businesswoman Francine Huaman, owner of Estetic Centre, invited Luca to spend two months in her wellness centre, renowned for its high quality aesthetic treatments in line with the latest beauty trends. Together, they were also hoping to learn about the cultural customs of each country as well as promoting potential partnership possibilities. Luca was excited to learn about the keys to Francine’s success while Francine hoped to gain an insight into the Italian market.

As well as shadowing Francine in her daily activities, Luca equally had the opportunity to learn about Francine’s business plan and administrative procedures, while at the same time observing the unreeling of the centre on an economical, marketing and practical level.

Thanks to their time together, both entrepreneurs remodelled their business plans. Together, Luca and Francine generated new wellness practices to improve their services on offer as well as developing strategies to verify the effectiveness of their products.
