Vincent Koehl (IMHI 1990): A Journey of Boldness, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship

-

MSc in Hospitality Management (IMHI)

12.11.2024

 

After a rewarding journey at IMHI and 25 years working for major American companies, Vincent Koehl embarked on a life-changing adventure: creating his own business. Inspired by his family roots—a background of artisans and a sister who is a pastry chef—he decided to combine his passion for craftsmanship with his strategic vision to address the needs of professionals, including restaurateurs, artisans, and hoteliers.  

 

Golookall is the tool Vincent wished existed when observing the challenges faced by small businesses. But what exactly is Golookall?  

Simply put, it’s a mobile app that helps professionals improve their visibility and manage their activities more efficiently. It offers solutions to streamline daily tasks, allowing them to focus on what they do best: their craft.  

 

Vincent didn’t stop there. He also developed Golookall-Eat, a version specifically tailored for restaurateurs. Available on iOS and Android, this app is designed to meet their unique needs, such as managing orders or attracting more customers.  

 

When Vincent speaks about his path, he is candid about the challenges he faced. “Starting your own business means being ready to learn everything on the go and being a little crazy,” he admits with a smile. Here are some key lessons he shares:  

 

- Constantly adapting: What works today may not work tomorrow.  

- Learning from failure: Every mistake is an opportunity to learn and improve.  

- Managing finances closely: Rigorous management is essential for long-term success.  

- Measuring efforts: Key performance indicators (KPIs) become your best allies.  

 

This entrepreneurial journey has been demanding, often requiring personal sacrifices, but Vincent finds deep fulfillment in it.  

 

For IMHI alumni or anyone dreaming of entrepreneurship, Vincent’s story is a true source of inspiration. It demonstrates that with a clear vision and persistence, it is possible to turn ambitions into reality.
