Directeur Général de la zone Europe du Sud chez Criteo
Diplômé de la promotion 2011, spécialité “management international”, je suis aujourd’hui directeur général de Criteo en France.
C’est une entreprise qui est capable de rivaliser avec les plus grands de la publicité en ligne, comme Google ou Facebook, et qui est même leader sur le segment de la génération de ventes en ligne pour les e-commerçants. Je suis également président de l’IAB, une organisation professionnelle qui traite des problématiques de la publicité en ligne.
Cette thématique des nouvelles technologies me passionne. Quand on est passionné, on ne compte pas ses heures, on n’a pas l’impression de travailler. Cela permet de se donner au maximum, de se dépasser et de sortir du lot.
Dans ma carrière, j’ai aussi pu m’appuyer sur l’esprit d’entreprendre que j’ai trouvé à l’EDC Paris Business School, cette envie d’avoir un impact. Quand on crée sa société, c’est génial, mais réussir à garder cet état d’esprit au sein d’une entreprise où l’on est salarié, c’est un grand atout, et c’est pour cela qu’il faut rejoindre l’EDC. Je suis d’ailleurs le parrain de la promotion 2025 et je pense très fort à eux, je suis heureux de les accompagner.Promotion 2011
