About

CEO at Babilou Family, I lead with the conviction that early childhood education plays a fundamental role in shaping a more inclusive, sustainable and human-centered society. Driven by purpose and impact, I work at the intersection of education, care, social responsibility and entrepreneurship, supporting teams and partners in building high-quality childcare solutions that respond to the needs of families, children and communities. My focus lies in combining long-term vision, operational excellence and strong values, fostering innovation while remaining deeply committed to people: children first, but also educators, families and employees. I believe that organizations have a responsibility beyond performance: to create meaning, trust and positive change.
