My story

Kaline Osaki

“Like an Heidi of these modern times” although more japanese and “savoyarde” 🙂

With japanese origin, born in Albertville (Savoie – France) and raised in Meribel ski resort, I have grown up in this incredible environment composed with mountain destinations.

A career of high-level athlete combined with a french-japanese culture and a mountain lifestyle education, shaped my personality, my character and my values for living :

A little girl amazed by the treasures of the mountains.
A competitor at heart, good, ambitious, perfectionist and tenacious for all projects undertaken.
A "Tarine" (nickname of the population of my mountain region), naive and truely optimistic, who believes in the future of the mankind and our mountains.
A constant look for balance between the extremes which polarize the world.
An open view on the world and a continuous reassessment to push ever further.

My philosophy

As a mountain territories and ski industry passionate, contributing to the development of this specific industry is a calling. I consider this mission as a fair return of what has been offered to me.

Within our manichean world, I conversely believe that we can find the right balance between growth and preservation.

Truely optimistic (and even a bit idealistic), I dream of innovative mountain destinations, ahead of its time, with strong and different positionning. I dream of an industry which positions itself as a pilot and leader in terms of sustainability, which dares taking risks, with strong aspirations. Yes, I have a dream…

Then…let’s transform together these dreams into reality !

My expertises

As Seneca used to say, “As long as you live, keep learning how to live”. Applying this philosophy to my personal and professional life, I propose diversified panel of expertises and missions, positionning myself like a “swiss knife“. I am convinced that mankind finds its value fulfillment, through varied activities which enable to respond to his curiosity, his need to learn and to be challenged.
