Interests

  • - I started my career in the insurance industry and I'm like Obelix. I fell into the pot when I was young!
  • - I practice sports regularly and really like to discover and try new sports.
  • - Reading something other than news of the sector and investment memos, if I can. I love 'The horde of counterwind' by Alain Damasio.
