The starting point
I have always been interested in what happens when people, capital, and ideas cross borders.
I trained as a mechanical and industrial engineer at Arts et Métiers, then studied large-project management and finance at HEC Paris. That led to eight years in investment banking and work across more than ten countries, from Stockholm to Shanghai.
In 2014, I moved to Santiago. Navigating a new country first-hand changed the direction of my career.
