About me
Give a clear direction and trust the team.How I lead
I work at Disneyland Paris, where I look after the connections between the resort and the websites and agencies that sell its stays and tickets (online travel agencies, tour operators, resellers). In practice: making sure bookings flow reliably and in real time from one system to another.
My career mixes three worlds: Data (public television, then leisure parks), strategy (consumer research, a commercial transformation project) and entrepreneurship (a web agency founded in 2015).
MSc in Big Data & Business Analytics (ESCP Europe). I lead a team of four project leads using agile methods, and I pass on what I know: OpenClassrooms mentor for nine years. Bilingual French/English, professional Spanish.
