Tell us a little about yourself: where you come from, your education, your first professional experiences
I was born in Corsica to stateless parents who were political refugees and who always saw France as an ideal rather than just a host country.As a child, I discovered South Africa, then Australia: two culture shocks that sealed my fate as an expatriate. At the time, the school of life started early. I delivered newspapers, washed cars, worked as a courier…
I ended up doing a series of jobs in the hotel and restaurant industry, like many others. I was a dishwasher in Melbourne, a waiter in Marseille and a hotel worker in Bastia. These experiences taught me that service is not just about performing tasks, but the art of transforming an ordinary moment into a memorable encounter.
