Ralph Fors

Founder & CEO

After twenty years in hospitality market, sales, key accounts and consulting, I thought I understood what exceptional service looked like.

Five years ago, I discovered tennis and with it, a new way of seeing sport, active life, travel and connection.

As I played across different clubs and destinations, I kept coming back to the same thought, why was there no place built entirely around racket sport life, with the level of service, design and experience found in the world’s best hospitality?

Not a hotel with courts.
Not a sports club with a restaurant.

A world built around the game, the people and everything that happens beyond the court.

That became Verlin, a global membership ecosystem connecting racket sport, exceptional experiences, inspiring people and destinations through one connected membership.

More than a destination. A way of life.
