About Jérémie Lambin from Freddy met Curry
Jérémie was born in Brussels and studied Business Engineer in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium). After his studies he worked one year in Frankfurt as Financial Analyst in a private equity fund aiming at investing in renewable energy & storage projects. Following that experience he worked 3 years as ‘operational excellence’ consultant where he realized the difficulties employees had to eat healthy and eco-responsibly at work. That’s when and how he developed the concept of Freddy met Curry.
From a very “ecologically concerned and aware” family, Jeremie had always wanted to work in the eco field or launch a project that did not hurt the environment.
Moreover, Jérémie is a big fan of sports, and recently started paragliding.
Podcast music
Special thanks to Joachim Regout who made the jingle. Have a look at his work here.
I am happy to bring a sample of our strong bonds on these sound waves. Since I was a child, he made me discover a wide range of music of all kinds. I am also delighted he is a nature lover and shares the Look4Loops 'out of the box philosophy'. He is an inspiring source of creativity for me.
