About

Tech and media executive with 20+ years driving growth and scale at the heart of global platforms, social networks and media ecosystems. I’ve built and scaled high-impact digital platforms, from launching Youtube across 35+ markets and accelerating Google monetization in the Branding world, to building Twitter success in France, and leading digital & AI transformation at Banijay across 23 countries and 130+ labels. My expertise lies in how platforms generate growth through attention, influence and trust, and how organisations (brands, media groups, institutions and leaders) translate visibility into commercial, corporate and institutional outcomes. I work across platform strategy, monetisation models, partnerships and regulation, supporting executive teams in navigating complex, high-exposure environments and making clear, long-term decisions. I’m particularly drawn to leadership roles where growth is driven by platform dynamics, narratives and power structures, and where technology is a strategic lever for sustainable scale.
