Philippe A. Naegeli

"The entrepreneur as a creator of the new and a destroyer of the old is constantly in conflict with convention. He inhabits a world where beliefs precede results, and the best possibilities are usually invisible to others. His world is dominated by denial, rejection, difficulty, and doubt. Although, as an innovator, he is increasingly imitated when he is successful, he always remains an outsider to the “Establishment.” He is usually found to be disturbing and irritating, even unemployable for the most part. Yet, ideas and dreams of his becoming the new reality in an ever-changing world surrounding us. If he ever knew the friction and hurdles he would endure, he might never have ventured. But then venturing is grappling with the unknown well. " J. Anthony Forstmann (1938 - 2023)
