About Me

Unusual profile for challenging projects.

Believing that any problem has solutions if coming up with original, innovative and measurable ideas. Then you are able to turn them into feasibility.

With main expertises in creative industries as entrepreneur and business developper, being multi-skilled and experienced makes me having a global vision and a great sense of adaptation to be quickly operational in fully autonomy.

French native and Canadian, I live permanently in Vietnam since more than 10+ years. I had participated to thousands local and international projects and events for major clients (France, Canada, U.S., China, Vietnam, etc.) and have been recognized for my passion, my leadership and my multi-fields expertises.

Entrepreneur, I founded and developped eXtension Concepts in Canada and Creativ’ International consulting in Vietnam. Specialized now in innovating Glamping solutions, tenting for events and popup spaces, my services cover a large expertise from Business Development, Consulting, Creative and Technical Project Manager, occasionally I enjoy sharing as speaker, coach and Trainer.

I support projects for both local and international companies for short missions and long term projects as well.
