Our story
The beauty of Carinthia and the sober figures
Maria Stadler comes from the foothills of the Nockberge mountains in the south of Austria, where the garnet town of Radenthein is located. Having grown up in a renowned restaurant business that has existed for generations, she learned the values of hospitality and quality from an early age.
After working in traditional marketing and sales, Patrick-Noël Herold-Gregor quickly realized that the ordinary is not exciting and switched to private equity – where the impossible is made possible, the unthinkable is thought through and figures and results have to fit.
Since 2020, they have co-managed and developed an Austrian company together. With the establishment of the Fine Gem Fund in Liechtenstein, they have succeeded in packaging the most beautiful real value in the world into a financial product.
At the beginning of 2024, they decided to pool their expertise and set up a company together to bring gemstones closer to customers at home and abroad in line with their values – Valoterna GmbH was born.
