As a wiseman said to me "when you have been a monk, you stay a monk". My mission has just changed: accompanying leaders to bring their teams up to excellence. My experience of the Chinese culture as a missionary (1 year) and as a project manager for ALSTOM convinced me that the key to reach sustainable success is the practical harmony between demand and care. The square and the round. Over the years, the edges of my sometimes squared French culture have become rounded.

Personal quote

“Inspire team leaders to guide their teams with joy.”
