BIOGRAPHY

Elodie Rojas was born in Nice, France, in 1985. Her parents gave her the travel bug and she has been traveling and living in different countries since she was a little girl.

Her work experience starts early when she meets her now husband Jose, a yacht captain. Together they work as a duo in several yachting related positions for whealthy families.

After becoming a mother in 2004, Elodie starts her career in retail. First being a sales representative in luxury boutiques in Marbella, Spain, she is able to work for the family-owned Elite Group. In 2008, she also assists the French brand Comptoir des Cotonniers in the opening of their new flagship store in Puerto Banus, Spain.

Following her husband in his career in yachting management, she then has the opportunity to spend a year in Arizona where she volunteers for Chandler Christian Church in the development of their hispanic branch. This wonderful experience is followed by three years in Morocco, where Elodie stays active in philanthropy, helping local organizations manage their donations campaigns and coordinate distributions.

In 2012, the family settles in Geneva, Switzerland where Jose works as a shipyard manager. After earning a legal studies diploma from Geneva University, Elodie is hired by the family-owned watchmaking group Affolter, where she learns everything about swiss watches and family business management.

Aged only 31 at the time, Elodie is then diagnosed with breast cancer. Fortunately, she has the chance to get the best treatments in Switzerland, allowing her to survive… and thrive!

Since then, Elodie has decided to work on helping families thrive as well.

First co-managing her husband’s yachts and real estate company in Corsica, she then decides to get a bachelor’s degree in wealth management to gain specific skills.

In 2017, she meets a French entrepreneur looking for an assistant. But at the time of exiting their family business, the entrepreneur and his family come with a wider need for managing their wealth and their assets, and Elodie takes part in setting up their family office in 2020, and structuring all the related operations and processes.

The family also shares Elodie’s heart for philanthropy, allowing her to help them manage their private foundation dedicated to integral ecology. In this frame, they practice impact investment, monitor international projects, and grant several organizations in the WASH sector as well as in youth empowerment.

With a vast and very diverse life and work experience, Elodie is a skilled operations manager, with precious hands-on knowledge on a variety of topics.

She is a dedicated family office professional, passionate about families and the impact they wish to have on the world.
