Arr those magical words… the joy of being an entrepreneur! Probably have shouted this all over town every chance I got. Certainly lived it by creating, taking over, and developing several companies in different fields: Les Bâches en France (building and installing outdoor advertising canvases), Kangaroo Village (start-up incubator) and Architel (document archiving).

Definitely taught this when I founded and led Entrepreneurship Tracks at ESSEC and Sciences Po. Also described it in my books “Entreprenez!” and “L’Avenir à portée de main”.

Never stopped sharing tales of our entrepreneurial joys and difficulties, our highs and our lows, the driving force behind us, and human’s resolute impetus. Never will!

Founded “100.000 Entrepreneurs” 10 years ago to bring entrepreneurs into high schools & universities. Goal: show young people what being an entrepreneur means. More than 80.000 young people benefitted from this.

Co-founded Serena, which brings together all these experiences for me. Proud supporter of talented entrepreneurs and constantly willing to grow with them!
