What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build on my experience in innovation, venture capital, consulting, and early-stage operations while working on complex business and technology challenges.

I'm currently supporting Aerleum as a Founder's Associate Intern while pursuing a joint Master's in Technology and Innovation Management at Mines Paris - PSL and Université Paris Dauphine - PSL.

I've worked on innovation consulting projects for APEC and Crédit Agricole Investment Bank, including envisioning APEC in 2031 and exploring how IT departments can use generative AI while managing associated risks. Through baby vc, I completed a 10-week VC bootcamp and later served as Community Lead.

My earlier experience includes commercial insurance underwriting at Zurich Insurance across Credit Lines, Financial Lines, and Cyber, as well as accounting and hospitality internships in Paris and Munich.
