I have the utmost respect for entrepreneurs who are shaping the future by taking on new challenges. Capitalizing on my mobility owing to my youth, I will be on the ground, working closely alongside our partners, staying as close as possible to their vision, and dedicating myself to thinking through challenges side by side.
