My 5 years in China specialising in sales and distribution provided the opportunity to work on the opening of dozens of hotels during the lead up to the Beijing Olympic Games and Shanghai World Expo.

Now based in the Paris headquarters leading global sales and third partner connectivity, distribution operations, and customer care and contact centres, I have participated to numerous strategic projects such as Accor’s alliance with Huazhu Hotels, the integration of FRHI and Movenpick, and multiple partnerships.
