Passionate about politics, he was the youngest member ever elected of the Parliement of Lausanne, his home city, at the age of 20. Together with the partner of an important Swiss private bank, now retired, he co-founded a liberal think tank in 2003 (“Groupe de Riencourt”) which published a book two years later in collaboration with HRH The Prince of Wales.

He is an occasional columnist in Le Temps, a major Swiss newspaper. He worked for Mediaprocessing – a consultancy for electronic media – and gained a lot of experience in event-management by organizing numerous festivals and parties while at high school.

During University, he worked as an intern, and then part-time at UBS and at Lombard Odler Darler & Hentsch.

In 2010, Antoine was named by Swiss magazine L’Hebdo among 100 top Swiss personalities.
