The Davos Club is a group that unites leaders, inventors, and powerful people from many industries to promote cooperation, exchange ideas, and propel significant projects. These clubs, which are frequently linked to activities at Davos, Switzerland, especially during the World Economic Forum, are designed to address global issues, encourage innovation, and help members network. Armando Camacho and Kamil Grund are the club’s founders.
Kamil Grund serves as a Board Member for his family’s international transport company, Grund i Synowie, and has founded several ventures, including EcoShuMi and Davos Events. EcoShuMi has united a diverse group of members, including politicians, innovators, CEOs, investors, and journalists, all driven by a common purpose. From a young age, he knew he wanted to be a Founder, a drive that has led him to establish numerous projects over the years. His journey in business matchmaking, connecting investors and innovators across various sectors, spans many years. Kamil was also a Co-Founder of Global Innovation Support, where he recognized the need to create a community of influential individuals capable of making a significant impact on the world. This realization prompted the creation of EcoShuMi, and now he is advancing this vision further with the formation of the Davos Club.
Armando Camacho is an entrepreneur and marketing expert who has lived in 14 countries and 34 cities to date. His companies have achieved significant milestones in marketing and publicity across the USA, Europe, and Mexico. He has also developed innovative adult beverages in North America, Europe, and the Caribbean. In addition, he served as Vice President of a green Swiss ceramic-nanotech company. With a strong commitment to extensive market research, he specializes in off-market real estate and luxury bespoke services for ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) worldwide through his company, Inluxus SRL, bringing added expertise in diamonds and precious stones to his offerings.
In this article, we will explore the vision behind the Davos Club, the key initiatives it undertakes, and how its founders aim to harness the collective expertise of its members to inspire innovation and promote meaningful dialogue on critical issues facing our world today.
What are the main factors that guided you to where you are now?
Armando: Stepping out of my comfort zone, I have learned to adapt, to be more resilient, to boost my empathy levels and push myself to innovate and create a new expertise mindset.
Kamil: My vision for a better world—encompassing nature, animals, and humans—has always driven me. To realize this, I aimed to create a society of influential individuals capable of enacting real change. This motivates me to maintain professionalism and strive for personal improvement, as true change starts with self-growth.
Empathy also plays a crucial role. By understanding others’ feelings, I can identify their needs and provide appropriate support. Genuine connections foster stronger communities where everyone can contribute to our shared goals.
Given your years of experience and accomplishments, what would you say was your biggest achievement?
Armando: My biggest achievement is learning by living and opening businesses in 14 countries, interacting with different cultures and traditions. Nothing beats practical experience over theoretical knowledge.
Kamil: My greatest achievement is spending quality time with my family while making a meaningful impact on the world. In business, this is exemplified by the creation of EcoShuMi, a platform uniting members from diverse backgrounds through innovation and humanitarian actions.
What inspires me most is that EcoShuMi includes individuals from countries in conflict who can still collaborate. This highlights humanity’s incredible potential when we prioritize our shared identity over borders, race, or religion. It serves as a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when committed to a common vision for a better world.
What is the quote that inspires you the most?
Armando: Success isn’t just about what you achieve; it’s about how you inspire others to dream bigger, work harder, and reach their fullest potential… Your experience is your most powerful asset—use it to build not just businesses, but legacies.
Kamil: “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” — Buddha
To change the world, we must first change ourselves. By committing to self-improvement—overcoming weaknesses and showing kindness—we can make a real difference. Understanding our emotions and resisting external influences are crucial. With clarity and inner strength, we can adopt a broader perspective and create meaningful, positive change.
Can you name two books that inspired you? And what did you take out of them?
Armando: “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle
This amazing book highlights living in the present, overcoming distractions, achieving mindfulness, personal transformation and inner peace.
“Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki
This book contrasts two financial philosophies: one of his wealthy mentors and one of his financially struggling father. It highlights the importance of financial education, entrepreneurial thinking, and smart investing to build wealth.
Kamil: The first is The Art of War by Sun Tzu, and the second is The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli. These two books are incredible resources for learning about strategy—both in business and in life. They offer timeless insights into leadership, decision-making, and navigating complex situations.
Moreover, they teach the importance of being resilient and aware of the manipulations that surround us daily from various sources. Understanding these strategies helps in maintaining focus and clarity, ensuring that one’s actions are deliberate and aligned with long-term goals, despite external pressures.
What personality traits contributed to you being a successful Founder?
Armando: These personality traits contributed to my success: Visionary, Thinking, Networking skills, Leadership, Discretion, Adaptability, Empathy and being inspirational.
Kamil: At its core, it’s about being deeply human—recognizing the beauty around us and understanding that both animals and humans share emotions. True value lies not in material possessions, but in our humanity.
Appreciating the happiness and sadness in others and feeling driven to support them defines us. Compassion and empathy reflect our success and character far more than any material achievements.
What was your inspiration to create Davos Club?
Armando: We created an elite private club for entrepreneurs and business people, which aims to provide exclusive networking, specialized resources, mentorship, prestige, and a focused environment for high-level collaboration and innovation.
Kamil: The success and impact of EcoShuMi served as my inspiration. It demonstrated that it’s possible to bring together influential, powerful individuals who also have good hearts, and by collaborating, they can genuinely make the world a better place.
In light of your journey and experiences, what message would you like to convey to aspiring entrepreneurs?
Armando: See challenges as opportunities to grow and shine. Stay curious and adaptable, and always keep your vision close to your heart. Remember, success is not just about achieving goals but also about the resilience, kindness, and courage you show along the way. Embrace the journey with a big heart and never forget to uplift and inspire those around you.
Kamil: Be yourself and stay true to your heart and feelings. Don’t be swayed by trends or influences from TV, YouTube, or TikTok. Focus on being the person who can look in the mirror each day and confidently say, “I am a good person, and I make a positive impact on the world.” Avoid falling into the trap of chasing followers, fans, or money. In the end, what truly matters is not the wealth or fame you accumulate, but the kind of person you were during your life.
What is your personal team leadership philosophy, and how does it shape the approach and methodologies used by Davos Club?
Armando: For me, it is beyond leadership, it’s about making a meaningful impact. It’s about inspiring others with your passion, showing empathy and kindness, and creating a positive ripple effect in the world. True success is measured by the difference you make and the lives you touch.
Kamil: As I mentioned earlier, be a strategist with a big heart, always aware of the manipulations that surround us. It’s essential to feel what others feel and think from their perspective. By truly understanding and empathizing with others, you can provide genuine support and make a meaningful impact on the world. This approach not only helps you become a better leader but also a better person overall.
What is the most valuable lesson learned from your professional journey ?
Armando: The importance of adaptability, resilience, and a big-hearted approach. Success involves navigating diverse environments, embracing challenges as opportunities, and continuously innovating while staying true to your vision. Equally important is leading with empathy, kindness, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on others and uplift those around you.
Kamil: The most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that each failure is an opportunity to improve and grow. Life, in many ways, is like a vast test, and it’s up to us to decide how we respond to the challenges we face. Every decision we make shapes our future and impacts those around us. By combining our efforts and working together, we can achieve remarkable things, benefiting not just ourselves and our families, but also contributing positively to the world at large.
Tell us more about what distinguishes Davos Club from other similar services?
Armando & Kamil: Davos Club aims to be a uniquely exclusive network—one that we envision as a rare and distinctive gathering place where impactful business and meaningful connections happen. Membership is by invitation only, ensuring that each individual is carefully selected for their ability to contribute positively to our community. Our focus is on creating a safe and nurturing environment for members, where they can engage in business and personal growth while aligning with our values.
We prioritize collaboration with organizations, private clubs, and individuals who share our commitment to placing life and humanity above technology and material wealth. At Davos Club, we believe that nature, animals, and human well-being are paramount, and we strive to foster a community where ego and financial status take a backseat to our collective values and mission.
What are some current trends in the industry of exclusive communities/hubs that you find interesting?
Armando: Current trends in exclusive communities include hybrid models blending online and offline interactions, a focus on wellness, sustainability and ethics, personalized experiences, and global connectivity.
Kamil: A notable trend is the increasing focus on spirituality and personal well-being within private clubs. Many of these communities are emphasizing the importance of positive energy and inner growth, which reflects a deeper recognition of the value of human potential and soulful connections. Despite the rise of AI and technological advancements, it’s encouraging to see that there is still a strong belief in the unique and transformative power of human ideas and experiences. This trend highlights a growing appreciation for the depth and richness of the human spirit, suggesting that our personal and collective potential remains a vital force in shaping the future.
