Mr. Catalin Buzatu: I was born in Romania, and I used to be a professional tennis player. When I was 13 years old, I went to Barcelona with my mother to practice and to have better conditions. I have dedicated my youth and life to the tennis world from the age of 7. In 2010 I founded the Company Excellence VIP Services after I set my career as a professional tennis player. First, I became a tennis coach, and at the same time, I started to develop the idea of Concierge Services. Over the years, I had to give up coaching and dedicate myself completely to this business. 114 The Art of Luxury Issue 44 2020
