Please tell me a little about your background.
I graduated in 1990 from a European Business School during which I spent one year in France, one year in the UK and one year in Germany. It was a wonderful experience. After that, I spent 15 years in a marketing consulting firm. In 2013, I joined Intériale, a ‘mutuelle Insurer’ as the company’s innovation director. It was the early stage of innovation concerns for insurers. I had a total freedom to create my framework and I loved it! One year ago, I joined Groupe Vyv, the first French mutualist Group. Here I perform in four main fields as the head of innovation: insurance; services; care; and housing.
