Who are we ?
At Ichibani, our mission is to enhance workplace well-being so you can make the most of your time and work with complete peace of mind.
We are a team passionate about making work easier and creating growth opportunities for entrepreneurs and managers. Recognizing that each business is unique, we provide personalised solutions perfectly tailored to your needs.
Whether you are looking for a private office, a modern meeting room, a welcoming coworking space, or a reliable business address, we have designed our services to provide you with flexibility, comfort, and well-being, so that you feel at home from day one.
We firmly believe that human connections, collaborative work, and collective success are essential for growing your projects. It is this conviction that drives us to offer far more than just a workspace: a place where every entrepreneur and manager can feel supported, inspired, and motivated to develop their business.
To take things further, in 2021 we created the BIZ-connect professional network, born from the requests of our community. This network fosters professional and personal connections, enabling everyone to grow through collective intelligence.
Over 10 years of experience in event and community management
Facilitator and eternal optimist at your service…
With over 10 years of experience in community facilitation and management, Eva has always put people at the heart of her work.
Her career began in 2011 in France, when she started an apprenticeship with the Groupement Interprofessionnel de la Région Vallée de Seine.
There, she discovered the role of Office Manager, combining administrative and accounting management with the organisation of community events, to encourage connections between entrepreneurs, business leaders and local institutions.
After this initial immersion into the professional world, Eva broadened her skills in various fields before returning to her first passion.
Over the years, she developed a strong commercial acumen, infused with optimism and an innate talent for facilitation, serving the professional community of the Yvelines region. Networking quickly became much more than a task: it became a true vocation. It grew with her, inspired her and became her driving force.
Always keen to grow, she complements her journey with continuous professional development to offer the very best of herself. Her career path has naturally led her towards the facilitation and management of coworking spaces.
In 2023, she took a new step by moving to Switzerland, starting out in a coworking space in Moudon. Curious and dynamic, she soon set out to discover new professional horizons, passionately building her network. It was during a networking evening in Lausanne that she met Hélène. A few months later, over coffee at Ichibani, the magic of networking worked its charm: a meaningful collaboration was born!
My mission
To serve people: facilitating connections, building bridges between individuals and ensuring that everyone feels comfortable, relaxed and confident in a friendly business environment; always in a warm and supportive atmosphere.
My essence
Networking, quite simply.
What I like most about my job
Knowing that I bring added value to those around me gives me all the energy I need to keep moving forward.
Over 6 years of experience in Ichibani business centre administration
How it all began:
By chance or perhaps by providence, my very first professional experience was at Ichibani.
After finishing high school, tired of studying, I took a gap year to do work experience placements in various fields. I explored floristry, analytical laboratory work as well as jewellery.
It was then that Hélène offered me the chance to discover the role of personal assistant at Ichibani, which had just opened. It was a very enriching experience, but at the time, working in an office felt a little too serious for me 🤓
Your role?
I am versatile.
My work ranges from invoicing to managing bookings and even installing door cylinders. Operations, day-to-day management, crisis handling, but the best part is proactive management to prevent them! 😂
It is all about anticipating – knowing what current customers might ask for or need. That means being attentive and taking the time to truly understand them (which, for me, is as much a pleasure as it is part of my job 😉).
But anticipation also means being ready for future situations, events or changes. And that means keeping an open mind and thinking outside the box, being flexible and knowing how to put yourself in the client’s shoes, whether existing or potential clients.
It’s sometimes a challenge in terms of organisation, but it’s also an excellent mental exercise. Boredom or routine? We don’t know the meaning of those words at Ichibani. There’s always something to do, improve, discover, or put into action.
Your essence?
It is reflected in my mission.
In daily life, I am a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, – so much so that I have earned the nickname ‘Miss MacGyver’ at Ichibani. I enjoy putting my mind to work, whether it’s finding creative solutions to all kinds of problems or refining the way I work. Paradoxically, I’m both a perfectionist and a little lazy, but together this combination makes me a great driver of optimisation 😂.
What do you like most about your job?
The constant evolution of both clients and their requirements.
Being in a role where I’m never bored is a real plus, and I particularly appreciate the mental challenge that this dynamic environment brings.
Beginning his professional career in commercial real estate
Your beginnings
I started my commercial apprenticeship in August 2024. It marked an important new step for me, and from day one, I was welcomed into a dynamic, supportive and motivating environment.
Being quickly integrated into the team helped me build confidence and become familiar with professional tools, working methods and the demands of the business world.
What I appreciated from the start was learning by doing: I get to see firsthand how a company operates, and every day is an opportunity to develop my skills and progress in my training.
Your role
My role is to support the team with day-to-day administrative tasks. This includes managing and filing documents, tracking files, and numerous small actions which, when added together, ensure the smooth running of the company.
I am also in contact with clients and suppliers, which helps me develop my communication skills and sense of service.
I place great importance on precision, organisation and responsiveness to provide effective support and contribute to the team’s smooth workflow.
Your essence
What drives me above all else is learning, growing and feeling useful in what I do. I thrive enthusiastically in a structured, clear and logical environment, as it motivates me to get fully involved. Organisation has always been one of my strengths: planning, sorting, tidying, structuring – all aspects that I enjoy and that are essential in this job.
I thrive in an environment that values autonomy, curiosity and continuous learning. For me, learning goes beyond technical skills: it also means understanding others, collaborating effectively and finding my place within the team.
What do you like most about your work
What I appreciate most is the variety of tasks. No two days are the same, which makes the work both stimulating and rewarding.
I also particularly enjoy human contact: interacting with clients, partners and colleagues makes every day more interesting. There is so much to learn through discussion, observation and collaboration.
Above all, I love feeling that my work is meaningful. Even as an apprentice, I can see that my contribution has a real impact, and that is incredibly rewarding.
Over 30 years of experience in workplace management
My beginnings
I started my career at the reception desk at Regus, on Rue du Rhône in Geneva. Over the course of 16 years, I learned a profession that didn’t really exist at the time: workplace management. In 2011, armed with this experience, I founded the Ichibani business centre in Rolle, followed by the BIZ-connect business network in 2021.
My mission
I make life easier for people by offering a coworking space in Rolle and optimising custom work environments for my clients through my second company, Organicom Sàrl. I also lead a dynamic community of entrepreneurs and executives and train teams in the profession of workplace management – a rewarding and meaningful career.
My essence
I draw my inspiration from human connections: they allow me to learn, grow and experience magical moments.
What I like most about my job
Pushing myself, stepping outside my comfort zone, learning from everyone I meet, helping them to be more effective and sharing our professional and personal experiences to promote well-being.
