About Thomas

An event and restaurant professional with over 7 years of experience, I guide projects from conception to operational implementation.

Founder of SOMA Cocktail Club (Paris & Berlin), I specialize in event planning and production, from project structuring to on-site execution. I cover the entire chain: conception, logistics, teams, budgets, and customer experience, with recognized expertise in event cocktail bars.

Concurrently, I support restaurant openings: construction monitoring, process structuring, team training, and implementation of operational and financial tools (4 openings in France and internationally).

Passionate about service industries, I create projects where every detail matters, with a single ambition: to transform an idea into a unique and memorable experience.
