01 / Profile
A career built
between worlds.
My work sits between worlds: technology and policy, public purpose and private innovation, strategy and delivery.
I began in journalism, then moved into international public policy, digital finance and development cooperation. That path taught me to ask sharper questions, understand different institutional cultures and translate complexity without flattening it.
Today, I lead Expertise France's Digital Unit, shaping multi-country programmes and partnerships across Africa, MENA and Asia-Pacific. Relocating from Paris to Boston gives this international practice a new transatlantic base.

04 / Consulting
Find the support
that fits your institution.
I support organisations when a digital ambition needs sharper choices, the right partners and a credible route to delivery. A core strength is connecting people across sectors—and turning those introductions into partnerships that can act.
Cross-sector connector
From a government need to the right company—or a technology to the institutions that can use and fund it—I identify the missing actors, convene the room and help shape a shared proposition.
