MY PATH
I founded Odyssey Export with the mission of supporting French SMEs and ETIs in their international development.
Because exporting is not something you can improvise, I have gathered over 30 years of experience in international trade developing companies and brands around the world.
Education
After studying foreign languages and international business, including a master's degree in International Management, I worked for large groups such as Sanofi, Seagram, Diageo and family-owned companies such as Hermès and Riedel.
International
I speak English, Spanish and Mandarin and I travelled throughout Europe, North America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific where I remained for 16 years in Export Director positions.
Know-how
I work in various sectors: luxury, cosmetics, wines & spirits, industry, tableware, food, innovative technology and sustainable development.
I have a wide range of experience that allows me to deal with complex situations where knowledge of country rules and the subtleties of international trade are intertwined.
Experience
In the field, I set up several distribution platforms and opened 2 subsidiaries in Singapore. I managed up to 43 distributors and teams in 15 countries at a time, with responsibility for sales of several million euros.
Network
I benefit from a recognized know-how and a vast network.
​
I teach at universities and business schools
I am a member of the OSCI federation (Accelerators of International Development), I am also a French Foreign Trade Advisor and accredited within the Team France Export by BPI France
Today, thanks to this expertise, I can advise and accompany company leaders in a precise and efficient way in their deployment on foreign markets..
My values
Above all, I prefer to work with RESPECT. Respect for people, opinions, rules.
We may have different points of view but this sharing will allow us to find solutions, to progress and to work in harmony.
ETHICS is also essential to guide and motivate our actions in an honest and loyal manner.

It is also about being RESPONSIBLE and acting while keeping our commitments
