Returning to France in 2016, I was appointed CEO for Africa, overseeing logistics operations in 48 countries. 🌏

🦈 Passionate about the Ocean and sharks, I've always had the chance to work close to the ground during my studies at KEDGE and then in a communications agency in various foundations. In 2017, I founded The Blue Quest with the aim of raising awareness among as many people as possible about protecting the Ocean by producing impactful documentaries. 🎥

Thanks to my actions and commitment, many marine protection projects around the world are developing and becoming better known. In 2020, my documentary " The Blue Quest Baja California " won the Gold Trophy at the Deauville Green Awards. 🏆

After a versatile career in journalism, directing and TV editing, I turned to fiction in 2015 with the creation of the mini-series " Scènes de Culte" for Ciné+. 🎞️

🎥 In 2019, my experience as part of an LGBT+ water-polo team inspired the hit film "Les Crevettes Pailletées", which won an award at the Alpes d'Huez Film Festival. The sequel, "La Revanche des Crevettes Pailletées" (April 2022), won the Audience Award in Miami. 🏅
