Jury Member & Entrepreneurship Mentor @ HEC Paris

About

Dynamic entrepreneur and finance professional with experience in consumer goods and infrastructure. Curious, tenacious and hardworking. Team player with excellent communication, analytical, and organizational skills. I have strong technical and financial expertise in the investment sector. I built those skills on practical experiences with a major infrastructure investment fund and a leading European bank. I have also co-founded a sporting goods start-up, giving me hands-on entrepreneurship experience. My main area of professional interest is in entrepreneurship and investments. In addition, I am fluent in French and English, complemented by a foundation in Mandarin and Russian, and I have a strong interest in diversity and cross-cultural work environments. I have a M.Sc from Ecole Polytechnique, and a Master of International Affairs from both Columbia University (New York) and SciencesPo (Paris).
