An entrepreneur, I am the CEO and founder of Apps of All Nations, a company developing Apps for the iPod and iPad, but I spend my time and energy developing iLearn4Free, a non-profit organization committed to improving literacy in developing nations through m-learning. A French native, I have an MBA from ESCP-Europe and strongly believe in preserving ethno-diversity.

In the developing world illiteracy rates are extremely high due to lack of resources and to the fact that children are not being taught in the language they speak. Yet the access to mobile phones is increasing rapidly and m-learning can be cheap and efficient. I plan to bridge the language digital gap between the western and developing world by developing m-learning applications that teach children how to read in their native tongue.

I am a TED baby, idea emerge in my head when watching TEDTalks... I was invited to attend TEDwomen, because I won the AOL contest with the idea behind iLearn4Free
