After a first successful career path with major corporations, especially as a sales manager with Sagem Communication (Safran Group) in France, I decided to move to the US in 2005 where I launched the sales operations of a small French wine importer: SObER Wine.
In addition, I realized several sales missions for a food show organizer (selling SIAL China, Montreal and Mercosur) and an economic development agency.
Active in my communauty, I have been appointed Vice-President of the French American Chamber of Commerce of North Carolina in 2006.
Back in France since June 2008 I am looking for a new career or a new business project. I relocated in Bordeaux, in the middle of the wine country.
