After graduating from HEC Paris with a specialization in Digital Business Management (in partnership with Telecom ParisTech), I co-founded Agorize in 2011, a pioneering SaaS platform specialized in open innovation—leveraging external ideas and expertise—and crowdsourcing, the practice of engaging large communities to solve problems and drive innovation. Agorize scaled into a global leader, with 100+ talents in 5 countries working for over 200 leading companies worldwide and engaging a dynamic community of 5 million innovators, before being successfully acquired by Bloomflow in 2024. Currently, I am an advisor for Exponential.fi, a DeFi investment platform. I support business development initiatives, focusing on strategic partnerships and growth opportunities to connect fintech startups with key investors. I'm also deeply engaged in launching a new entrepreneurial venture combining AI, video technology, and sports, aiming to revolutionize sports coaching and performance analysis. My entrepreneurial journey began during my studies when I founded an NGO-focused media association during my studies. This project allowed me to travel globally to 15 development countries, creating impactful video content that significantly increased NGO visibility and contributed to raising several hundred thousand euros. Beyond professional endeavors, I'm passionate about board sports, having grown up surfing near Biarritz and teaching skiing in the Pyrenees—experiences that have shaped my approach to agility, adaptability, and continuous learning in my professional life. As an active member of Surfrider Blue, I support Surfrider Foundation Europe’s vital ocean conservation efforts.
