Need an expert for your next TV panel on energy? A lecturer for your geopolitics program? A speaker who knows how to captivate an audience? You're in the right place.

Let's discuss your project

Why work with me

I'm not an ivory-tower academic or a generalist consultant. I'm a practitioner: 18 years in the energy sector at France's 3rd largest electricity producer, 12 years as an elected official in the Lyon Metropolitan area with hands-on responsibilities (culture, digital, international affairs), and a lecturer at Sciences Po Paris and EM Lyon since 2010. When I speak about a topic, I know it from the inside.

What this means for you: interventions grounded in reality, not jargon. An ability to make complex subjects accessible to both general and specialist audiences. And a network that spans from Taipei to French local governments, through the worlds of culture and festivals.
