Actually Viktor Meier wanted to become a Diplomat, but soon, the former Karate Champ realized that the well organized life on an embassy or the safe confinements of a Corporate job won’t satisfy his innovation and adventure drive.

When he discovered a Spanish Inventor on TV who invented a ecological alternative to polluting conventional ice skating rinks, he flew to Spain to meet the Pioneer. A while later both together founded Glice® in Switzerland and very soon could deliver the first Glice® rink.

With a tight start-up budget he travelled to average 30 countries per year to find new distribution partners and clients. Overnight stays at hostel in order to add some more destination with the same money has been as normal to him as living out of just a carry on bag. The result: In only 5 years Viktor Meier and his partner have sold Glice® ice rinks to over 80 countries worldwide, on 5 continents. This in traditional ice sport countries such as USA, Canada, Slovakia, Sweden or Russia, as well as to exotic countries such as Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Tanzania, Egypt or Singapore.

Viktor and his Team don’t run an office, the firm Glice® is 100% Paperless and is managed from the Cloud. His "office" is everywhere and it is not unusual to find Viktor Meier in an Asian Coffee-shop or in a Mexican hammock where he negotiates a deal over Skype with an Arabian Sheik or is discussing a new partnership with a NHL star.

Viktor inspires with his direct and unconventional way and is the vivid proof that who is living his dreams, doesn’t need luxury.
