What I'm looking for

I'm interested in advancing partnerships for innovative companies in transport, advanced manufacturing, batteries, materials, aluminum, and mining, while helping manufacturers build stronger local supply chains.

At the Québec Government Office in Chicago, I help innovative Québec companies grow across ground transport, advanced manufacturing, aluminum, batteries, and materials. I also help American OEMs understand Québec expertise and local supply-chain opportunities.

Previously at Business France, I connected French automotive companies with North American decision-makers, delivered market analysis, and organized trade missions and events. My experience also includes motorsport marketing, digital content, and French-English communication.
