About me

I'm a seasoned entrepreneur, strategy consultant, and former VC with extensive international experience in Fashion, Luxury, CPG, and Retail. Originally from France, I reside in Los Angeles, California, where I have been living for the past 15 years.

​

  • Fashion Entrepreneur: I built from scratch a next-gen multiverse sneaker brand, SHOES 53045. As its CEO and CMO for 4 years, the brand was featured in top media outlets like BOF, Highsnobiety, Hypebeast, Vogue, Footwear News, Esquire and more, and endorsed by influential artists like Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Gigi Hadid, and Pussy Riot to name a few. With a modest $150K financing and a small team, I led the company to $1.2M in revenue and profitability in its first year, sustained it during Covid, and then achieved a growth of +30%.

​​

  • Strategy Consultant: I was behind the scenes of many major strategic transformation and growth projects for notable names like LVMH, Kering, PUIG, Celine, Loewe to name a few, collaborating closely with C-Suites.

​​

  • VC: My journey in Venture Capital started with Bernard Arnault’s first VC fund and continued with Michael Schulhof’s fund, the former CEO of Sony Media Entertainment. All the investments I was part of are still active, with some like Webhelp achieving valuations of $4.8 Bn.


My superpowers include a deep understanding of GenZ, Culture & Subcultures and innovations (Web3, AI, Brandtech)  well before they hit the mainstream, a robust background in sustainability, creative thinking with a strong ability to model fast concepts and ideas, crafting and executing effective business and GTM strategies, and meticulous business planning & roadmap formulation. I'm highly structured, organized, and I loves challenges.

I hold a Master in Entrepreneurship & Innovation from ESCP Business School (Major).

IconX Labs services

IconX Labs is my advisory entity dedicated to creating and developing visionary and iconic brands, products and experiences.

I chose this name because 'Iconic' is not only one of the favorite words among Gen Z fashion fans but also represents the highest compliment and proof of love for a person or a brand. The 'X' means innovation, and 'Labs' emphasizes the notion of constant effort to create and improve products and experiences, and make the world better.
