Strategy, operation and development of cultural and tourism projects.
One conviction: to link the quality of the experience to the viability of the place.

Management and production experience.
I managed the monuments of Nîmes — Arena, Maison Carrée and Tour Magne — as well as the ancient Theatre of Orange and the Château des Baux-de-Provence, combining operation, programming and audience development.
As Director of the Atelier des Lumières from 2017 to 2020, I oversaw its opening, operational structuring, and the development of its programming, including Terra Magnifica and the Immersive Art Festival. At Moment Factory, from 2019 to 2022, I worked as a producer and project manager on international immersive experiences.
Today
Since 2022, with New Art Experiences, I have been supporting cultural venues, destinations, producers and operators in their strategy, development and partnerships.
Since 2026, I have also been Director of New Business & Partnerships — Originals Formats at The Storytelling Company, in Berlin, with a role in international development and partnerships around original formats.
