Marketing specialist and expert of innovative start-ups. I have the taste and the curiosity to discover and create everyday. I want to bring my skills, my network and my energy into a team with the goal to succeed. I have a strenght experience about event organization. I organized 2 Start-up weekend with Techstars, and I created 2 big events: The Mashup Montpellier (about the place of women in the entrepreuneurship) and an Hack my fortress (about the cybersecurity).

I played a lot of sports in my chilhood, I'm really passionate about sports and Innovation because I think when you play and you challenge you everyday about yourself, you can make everything in your life and your job.

How a good sport education can help you to succeed all your projects

I discover Ted with 2 different conferences: The first one is: "Tom Thum: The orchestra in my mouth" (Sydney in 2013). My mother is a professional pianist and the music has a important place in my life. I try to create evryday, in my life, in my job and this conference has a good message: "with music everything is better" The second one is: "Why Some of us Don't Have One True Calling | Emilie Wapnick" (in 2015). I can not describe me! I played a lot of sports, I worked in different places, different countries, different companies... I'm multipotential. That's why I love Ted. You can be unique, you can find a speaker who speak about you, and when I say "You", I mean your passion, your job, your family... with ted everything is possible.

When my team has some dfficulties or some issues, I try to be a better captain. I work harder, I help everyone harder, and I try to to keep my problems for myself to prove my team than they can count on me.
