Connect to discover and join our impactful activities! That\'s for makesense. As for me :> As a child raised amidst the concrete of a big city (Paris), I was first interested in how urban planning shapes our society. In 2012, thanks to my university, I discovered the field of social business and how incredible, innovative entrepreneurs were revolutionizing the way companies are built today. This inspired me to spread the word about a field where collaboration, social impact, creativity, innovation, inclusion, and sustainability are key. Since 2020, I have developed a deep interest in regenerative business models and the relationship between economic actors and living (eco)systems. I became involved with CEEBIOS (the Biomimicry Institute) and helped launch new programs for nature-driven or living systems-driven companies.Then, after being an entrepreneur for 10 years, I became an investor five years ago, investing through different vehicles (100 AUM) with makesense and partnersAs I am insatiably curious, I also joined a political campaign in 2024 (European elections) as campaign director, leading a team of 30 staff during five intense months. I discovered a whole new world of activism and political power dynamics, which gave me a better understanding of what is at stake in our society.By continuously blending my entrepreneurial, investing, and activism activities, please feel free to contact me to discuss any of these topics!
