I grew up in Bordeaux, France in a family passionate about art, culture and travel.

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.
