🌊 Blue Economy specialist:
As a blue economy consultant, I have a deep understanding of key issues and trends in the maritime sector: Port and Vessel of the future, marine environment, Blue Biotechnologies, Coastal protection and valorization, fishing and aquaculture, climate change (NBS), maritime surveillance and security, marine renewable energy, etc.
With my comprehensive understanding of the blue economy, I am well-positioned to help your organization navigate the complexities of this rapidly-growing sector.

🌍 International Business Development Specialist:
I graduated from Sciences Po Aix with a specialization in International Business Affairs and Strategic Information Management.
In my career, I have studied in particular the interest of business groups in exporting in the maritime sector:"The squadron navigation"
I have collaborated with many international support structures (Business France, Team France Export, BPI, CCI International, Cluster, Associations, etc.).
I know the different international development mechanisms and will guide you to activate export financing levers.
I personally opened new export markets as an International Volunteer in Business (VIE), Startup Co-founder and Director of Marketing and International Business Development.
I asked myself the same questions as you, and I know the requirements and stages of an export strategy.
I help you benefit from my experience to secure your export project and maximize your chances of success.
I deployed my talents as a Business Developer in several countries: North America (USA/CANADA), Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Norway, England, Scotland, Ireland, etc.), French Polynesia, South America (Chile), South East Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia), Africa (Morocco).
