Having obtained a European Diploma in Management and Hospitality from the renowned Vatel Institute in Lyon, Yann Touzet, APPRO'Solutions' CEO, went on to gain experience at a number of top-class hotel brands, before working for four years as Purchasing Manager for a luxury 4 star hotel in Lyon. Then, with a desire to enrich his experience on an international level, he crossed the English Channel to take up the position of Cost Controller, and then Purchasing Manager, for a luxury palace hotel in London.
After a successful integration in the UK, Yann wanted to diversify his professional portfolio and secured the position of Procurement Manager for the House of Lords.
APPRO'Solutions is the result of this diversity and experience.
