Marc Barbey (*1971) grew up in Paris and studied international business at the Grande École (ESSCA) in Angers, France, and the Heriott Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. The international businessman has been active in sales and business developments positions in the metal industry as well as the software business. In 2003 he moved to Berlin and founded a family. Berlin is the birthplace of his private collection and since 2016 he dedicates himself completely to the development of the different activities of Collection Regard.
