Corrections and additional information
editI work for Guillaume Pousaz and would like to request the following changes to the article:
- Pousaz was born in 1981 as supported by this FinTech source as well as this Bloomberg profile. Please correct in the infobox as well as the content of the article.
- Please add this philanthropic content to the article and lede:
- Pousaz and his wife founded Pousaz Philanthropies in 2022. The organization focuses on supporting the safety and education of children worldwide.[1]
- Modify the Early life and education section to read:
- Pousaz was born outside of Geneva, Switzerland and studied mathematical engineering at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne, before enrolling in an economics bachelor's degree at HEC Lausanne.[2]
- Pousaz initially planned to become an investment banker. He received an offer from Citibank London, but his father's cancer resulted in him leaving HEC Lausanne in 2005 before completing his degree. He then moved to California to pursue surfing.[3][4][5]

- @Lauren at L Strategies I would recommend you to go forward with your edits as long as you comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and try not to vandalize and cite unreliable or false sources. Apart from that, I can't say anything about this. I am no longer in touch with this article. MSincccc (talk) 16:45, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
