Transforming Homecare

Marcel leads the company in its mission to revolutionize and disrupt the homecare business – to create the care people deserve and expect – a mission that has become a part of his identity.

Although Marcel exudes the personality and drive of a natural-born entrepreneur, his extensive resume and past experiences testify to a long and successful career in driving transformative change. Before co-founding Good Comfort, Marcel made a name for himself as an internationally recognized brand and marketing strategist, leading numerous transformative and award-winning initiatives for some of the most well-known and exciting companies worldwide. His previous successes have prepared him well for his current role as CEO of Good Comfort, where he continues to apply his bold vision and ideas to revolutionize the homecare industry.

Outside of work, Marcel enjoys the simple pleasures of life, whether that means hitting the trails on his bike, playing tennis with his family, or taking leisurely walks with his beloved long-haired Dachshund.

With a commerce degree from India, my initial career aspirations were firmly set in the fields of accounting or finance. However, destiny took an unexpected turn when I found myself drawn into the role of Care Coordinator. Here, I unearthed a profound connection and a level of satisfaction that eclipsed any previous experiences. Over the span of more than five years in this role, I honed my management skills and cultivated a deep understanding of sound business principles, which played a pivotal role in fostering the growth of the organization.

Today, as the Director of Care, I find immense fulfillment in overseeing the growth and management of the entire Good Comfort Care Team. From day-to-day operations and client and family engagement to recruitment, my aim is to nurture a best-in-class care team capable of delivering nothing short of exceptional client experiences. The human aspect of this business, particularly the recruitment of new talent, stands out as particularly rewarding, as it allows me to shape a team dedicated to providing compassionate and high-quality care.
