Meet Léon, Ajens’ social media manager. After working in the corporate world followed by a couple of years being a stay-at-home-dad, Léon decided to continue his career at Ajen. Motivated by the idea that you can truly make the world a better place by changing people’s every-day behaviour, he decided to help reaching out to Ajen’s community through meaningful messages on social media. Inspiring people to change their daily routines and at the same time, giving them a luxury home and body care experience. ‘Working at a start-up means wearing many hats, and I love that, including also connecting with our customers through customer care. It’s a fulfilling part of the job, giving me the chance to understand our customers better, help them out, and hopefully giving them the best experience with Ajen.’
Favorite holiday destination?
Mauritius! The blend of the vibrant city life of Port Louis, relaxing nature escapes and the melting pot of different cultures makes it the ultimate holiday destination for me. I love travelling and immersing myself in the local culture by indulging in good food and exploring dynamic urban environments. After a few days of city adventures, I unwind with a couple of days at the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying various sport activities.
Digital detox
Taking a break from screens and having quality time with my kids. Spending fun time with them in the forest, engaging in activities that require my full attention, is the ultimate way for me to disconnect and get closer to nature. When I'm absorbed in these moments, there's simply no room to check my phone or any other screen.
How do you get inspired?
I love to go to the theatre, visiting a concert or watching a musical is truly something that I really enjoy. These cultural escapades take me away from here for a few hours into another world, sparking creativity and offering a refreshing dose of inspiration.
Ajen is inspired by Dutch design, where beauty, functionality, and sustainability go hand in hand. What’s your favorite Dutch design item?
One of my favorite Dutch design items is our Weltevree outdoor oven, beautiful, functional, and made to last. On warm summer evenings, it brings that ultimate feeling of relaxation, like a slow holiday moment. It perfectly reflects what we love at Ajen: design that connects you to nature and everyday joy.
What is your favourite Ajen scent?
My favorite Ajen scent is Wilderloof, I love it’s woody tones that feel warm and grounding. It adds a subtle sense of calm to my daily routines. For me, it’s like taking a deep breath in the forest, no matter where I am.
