How they work
There he builds strategic responses, trains teams and puts operational solutions in place.
A former national trade-union leader, he has led numerous social negotiations, with public authorities and between social partners, and sat on the French Economic and Social Council from 2004 to 2009. That experience informs his political reading of stakeholder games.

He holds master's degrees in human resources management and in political studies, and has taught strategic leadership at ICP since 2010. He is an auditor of the 70th national session on Defence Policy at IHEDN and a member of IESAS.
