Kory Tarpenning knows how achieve his goals. The athlete from Oregon, USA, sets his goals high. As an Olympic pole-vaulter, he rocketed into the air and never looked back. After living in Paris for several years with the Olympic team, he and his wife moved to Monaco “for one year” before returning to the States. That was over 20 years ago, and Kory and his family have become part of the fabric of Monaco. Leaving sports for business, Kory has brought with his business partner Jean-François Calmes some of our favourite brands like Nike, Starbucks, and now Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa to the Principality. We sat down with Kory to get his words of wisdom on business, success and achieving your goals.
