Ernesto Bertarelli

“I really enjoy sailing on Lake Geneva because I can just look at the shore and see my wife having a barbecue with the kids.”

“If you have a life which is adrenaline-charged all week long because you're a powerful CEO, or you have responsibilities and you're committed to the people you look after, it's very difficult on weekends to sit around the garden. So you probably look for something which gives you the same sort of adrenaline buzz.”

“You can't change who you are, but you can change what you have in your head, you can refresh what you're thinking about, you can put some fresh air in your brain.”

“My father was a sailor and our summer vacations were always on a sailboat. I had a little boat before I had a moped.”

“I always thought that it's important to have other things, not just work, and I often even suggested my managers take some time off and come back fresh and ready to fight again.”
