About

After a long career as diplomat and economic negotiator at the bilateral, regional and multilateral level, I enjoy teaching in topics related to my professional expertise (international economic policies and negotiations). I like to be useful to next generations ! But if you do not know me, please don't ask me to "add" your name to my connections and vice versa.
