00:37- About Céline Schillinger and her journey.

• I grew up in Bordeaux, France in a family passionate about art, culture and travel.
• I studied political science as the general interest appealed to me, but felt attracted by the pace of private business. So, I added corporate communications to my curriculum and then got my first job in a small IT business whose main market was China.
• This raised my interest in business operations and Asia. I left France aged 23 to look for a job in Vietnam. Overall, this has been 10 years in non-pharma businesses, in the Asia Pacific.
• In 2001, I joined Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccine division of Sanofi in France.
• Before founding We Need Social, I was Sanofi Pasteur's Global Quality Head of Innovation and Engagement.
