About

• Hands-on Managing Director, with a solid experience in Strategy, Marketing, Business Development, Product Development, Digital Solutions and Customer Experience • Multicultural (French and American), with work experience in Europe, Asia & America • Very familiar with large, global companies as well as small, more entrepreneurial businesses (B2B & B2C) • In-depth knowledge of the Automotive, Mobility and Events sectors • Creative, competitive, natural leadership and good communicator • Passionate about sports competitions and events (mainly horse riding, tennis & motor sport) As Managing Director of the Paris Motor Show and President of the Electric and New Energy Championships Commission @ FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile), I am fully involved in the Automotive / Mobility Industry and Services. Mobility is an essential element of our freedom of movement, professional agility and the transportation of goods. However, traffic and pollution in major cities has become a real issue, not only for pedestrians and cyclists but also for motorists. I am convinced that we are at the dawn of a great mobility revolution, which will significantly improve life in urban environments. I would like to contribute even more actively to making cities more pleasant, less noisy and less polluted : - by accelerating the roll out of eco-friendly vehicles, in particular thanks to the new energies and technologies that the FIA motorsport championships are contributing to develop ; - by implementing mobility solutions and services with connected, shared, ecological and autonomous vehicles ; - by the development of new modes of public transport and multimodal solutions specifically adapted to local needs.
