Why Zurich?

“Apart from the attractive brand that is Zurich and the challenging job, I liked the people and the mutual trust atmosphere I could already feel at the first contact”.

• Born in Lille, France; speaks Japanese, English and French, enjoys tennis, onsen and guitar.
• Graduated from Telecome Lille 1 graduate school for engineers in France.
• Relocated to Japan to work in a luxury goods company; joined Zurich after working there for 5 years.
• Significant projects: working on long run projects, focused on making present and future collaboration tools more flexible, content-focused and closer to people’s needs.

Why I'm still here?

Because I want to “make change happen”. With new social software technologies, this is an exciting time and I can’t wait to see how people in Japan will make it “The Zurich Way”.

Bottom line

“If I were interviewing you, I’d look for someone who was trustworthy and not afraid to speak out”.
