After working in investment banking in Paris, London and various emerging markets I decided (in 2001) for a change of lifestyle. Since then, I did graduate studies in Toulouse and Rio de Janeiro in economics, business, and sociology. I also became a moniteur de voile at les Glenans where I often spend the summer taking students around Bonifacio and sometimes further, Tour de Corse and to Sicily. Today I am mostly interested in sports (rowing, triathlon) and research. After presenting a paper at Harvard in 2005, it was published as a chapter in a book in 2007.
