🎓 An invested kedger

Originally from Provence, joining Kedge Business School was an obvious choice for me, especially as its internationally-focused IBBA program perfectly matched my aspirations.

 

During my years at Kedge, I put my theoretical knowledge into practice through various entrepreneurial initiatives, such as online sales on Amazon and currency trading. The school also made me aware of the importance of sustainability in business, encouraging me to get involved in sustainable development projects.

My internships, notably as a project manager and community manager, offered me enriching and complementary experiences. What's more, my university exchanges in Hungary and the Netherlands strengthened my interest in international business and cultural differences.

 

Although I regret not having been more active in the school's community life, my involvement in concrete projects, such as the clean-up of the Calanques and my dissertation on sustainable tourism in Provence, were highlights of my time at Kedge.

In short, my experience at Kedge Business School has shaped my entrepreneurial and responsible vision, preparing me to be an environmentally and socially aware leader in the business world.

🚀 Entrep'Runner

My company is a consulting firm specializing in business development . I help Canadian companies develop their business in Europe, and European companies develop their business in Canada. Today, I focus on companies in the new technology sector . I also help them obtain financing through grants and non-dilutive financing.

I also help them implement marketing and prospecting strategies through sales tunnels to improve their results in the short to medium term.

Finally, my job consists of doing some time in companies to help them get more customers and improve their existing strategy.

🏔️ Trail des 13 sommets, a passion above all else

  • Gradually, I'd like to get into business development in outdoor sports and mountain-oriented brands, as I'm passionate about this sector and know the market well, so I'd like to make an impact.

  • The Trail des 13 sommets project is in fact a kind of personal pleasure that I'm pursuing in parallel with this professional activity. The aim is to break even financially with a stimulating project that will enable me to learn, have fun and pay tribute to the territories that cradled my childhood. It's a personal adventure in which I'm going to run 170 km and 6,000 vertical metres across the Bouches-du-Rhône department and its mountain ranges. The aim is to make a documentary to leave a trace while promoting sustainable practices, local economic players and the cultural and natural riches of our department.
This Trail des 13 sommets is my hymn to Provence, a call to recognize, respect and celebrate its beauty, its history and its future. I set out on these trails not only in search of a finish line, but to blaze a trail of understanding and admiration, inviting everyone to join in this quest for discovery, respect and excellence.
Join me in this adventure, and let's share a passion for running, a love of nature, and a commitment to a future where man and the earth move forward in harmony.

🎯 Your future aspirations

For the future, my objective is clear: to continue training in business management through a variety of experiences, whether in start-ups, large companies or personal projects. Over the next five years, I aim to create a company with sustainable impact, constantly exploring new ideas and striving for a better world. While learning from each experience, I plan to remain open to learning and not rush into creating a big company. Currently a consultant in my small EURL, this practical experience is an essential springboard to entrepreneurship.

In 2022, I went through difficult times that enriched me enormously. I firmly believe that challenges make us grow and make us stronger.
