1991 → 2009 — Growing up into an adult, somewhat

Born in a suburb of Paris 🇫🇷

Very happy growing up in some countryside landscapes, surrounded by cereal fields and a gigantic garden with fruit trees everywhere.

Enjoying the heck out of school time and extra activities, fencing, basketball, swimming, tennis, chess, airplane modelling, video games 🤓

Traveling also, Madagascar 🇲🇬 and Germany 🇩🇪, to visit the family, or the occasional school or friends trip, Rome 🇮🇹 and London 🇬🇧

16yo, parents divorced, completed high-school in a boarding school in Normandy.

2009 → 2011 — Going through hardcore times

Moving to Paris, enrolling in prep courses for elite business schools, one of the most competitive after-graduation education system France can offer.

Barely 20yo, the randomness of life hit my family hard: we lost my dad from a heart attack.

Spent the next one year and half plunged in a very deep introspection. Things in me had changed, forever.

Still, wanted to go through to the end with what I started.

Repeated the last year to claim a spot for Audencia, based in Nantes 🇫🇷, 6th ranked business school.

Celebrated by meeting with friends in the USA 🇺🇸, road-tripping from San Francisco to Salt Lake City then discovering New York City 🗽

2012 → 2013 — Spinning out of the path I had laid out for myself

TBD

2014 → mid 2015 — First startup, failed
