About
Aviation has been the constant thread throughout my professional journey, through senior roles at Air France, KLM, Alitalia, and today at Emirates. I have worked across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas, building a broad international perspective on the aviation and travel industry. Today, I oversee the commercial Operations for Europe & The Americas at Emirates, with a focus on developing strong partnerships, driving sustainable growth, and supporting teams across diverse markets. My background covers commercial strategy, sales leadership, negotiation, airports, and business travel. I hold a double Master’s degree in Business Law, with a specialisation in Tax Law, from Université Panthéon Assas (Paris II).
