I’m a huge cinephile, and I love classic films. I’m always discovering hidden cinemas around the world and watching old movies from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. The most recent one I watched was The Red Shoes (1948), directed by Michael Powell.
Slow traveling: Last year, I spent one month in Roma. This years, I will be living in Mexico City for 3 months.
Unexpected experience
During the first Covid-19 lockdown, I was traveling alone in Colombia. I decided to get stuck in the jungle of Minca with a group of other backpackers without knowing when I would be able to return to France.

I spent years helping companies decide who to trust. Now I help people build relationships that work.
I learned the importance of personal branding on my skin: since I was born in a tiny unknown town in Brittany, I didn’t graduate from a fancy French business school and I was a woman in a man's world, I was never given too much credit and therefore I had to find my way to emerge.
And this is how I did it.
In mid-2000, I followed my instincts and moved to Mexico. There I was making a living by teaching French to ambitious professionals who saw learning this language as a way to step up in life. From this experience, I learned how it all starts with passion. Your success would be determined by how successful you are with the people you want to help.
In 2008, I returned to France, Paris, and started my career in sales. I made my dream come true and I started working in the business. I choose tech to ensure I will always have a future and plenty of opportunities wherever I choose to be.
My role consisted of booking meetings with IT hiring managers and interviewing engineers. I had no clue of the language of technologies they were speaking but I found my way to be useful.
I became the voice of an introverted population of workers and the two sides we merged turned into success stories. While they were talking about nerdy stuff, I was the one putting words to social skills, leadership and confidence. I wrote and pitched the stories of thousands of professionals.
People are always driven by the same purpose: the value they bring to others.
