An alumnus of Sorbonne University, Ecole des Ponts et Chaussée and Stanford University, I specialize in the fields of innovation, technology management, entrepreneurship and Design Thinking. Through my personal and professional experiences, I have developed a network with which I am eager to share, exchange and build. A keen sailor and traveler, I'm very open to new challenges and discoveries. Ambitious, a perfectionist and strong-willed, I'm always looking to surpass myself and challenge myself. Organizing a TEDx is the perfect project to work on these points.

I am passionate about sailing since very young. I observed through my involvement over many years in management in a sailing club, economic and human potential of the nautical sector. I would like to promote the access to culture of nautical sector through education, initiatives, engagement, opportunities, the use of technology and entrepreneurship. Because the nautical world is a "Ecole de voile, école de mer, école de vie (sailing school, sea school, school of life)" - Les Glénans

Taking the time to listen to our peers is the beginning of the solution to our next problem.

I discovered the TED world in 2015 at an event in the Sorbonne University. Manager of many conference in the middle of the financial communication, this new format of conference intrigued me and I decided to further my research. I discovered a real community centered around noble values that I adhere as engagment, sharing and spreading the culture at all. Today I would like to invest myself more in the community.

Hum... fencing ? :)
