Born in the United States to French-Belgian parents, I grew up internationally, moving between cultures, languages and school systems from an early age. That experience shaped the way I think: I learned to adapt quickly, read different environments, and feel at home in more than one world. Both of my parents influenced me deeply, in different but equally important ways. From them, I inherited curiosity, openness, intellectual energy, and a desire to bridge perspectives, disciplines and people.

Music was my first serious language, and it shaped my interest in the relationship between structure, emotion and improvisation. That curiosity later led me to neuroscience and mathematics at Columbia University, where I explored the interplay between biology, perception and human experience. Research opened my eyes to the complexity of life, but I was never drawn to a single discipline or environment. My temperament is exploratory: I am energised by movement, by the collision of ideas, and by the possibility of translating insight into something tangible.

That instinct brought me toward biotechnology, law and venture. At Sciences Po, I studied economic law with a focus on patent protection in biotechnology and life sciences; at Imperial College, I moved deeper into biotechnology through advanced chemical engineering. Together, these paths allowed me to look at innovation from several angles at once: the science itself, the systems that protect and scale it, and the people bold enough to build around it.

Healthcare also became personal to me through my grandparents, and through seeing how much medical progress still depends on the systems built around human beings. At Ananda, the different parts of my path came together. I found a place where science, creativity, discipline and human connection all matter — and where my role is to help ideas, people and systems move closer to real-world impact.

The point where science becomes human. Biotechnology fascinates me because it sits at the edge of what we understand about life, but its true power lies in what it can change for people.

Music remains a constant in my life, especially jazz, because it combines discipline with improvisation and precision with emotion.

Sport is another important part of who I am. Having played field hockey competitively in Belgium, and now through running, I am drawn to the discipline of pushing body and mind beyond their assumed limits, but also to the question of how far we should go in the pursuit of excellence. And when I need to switch off from my own forward motion, I return to the sea in Brittany: swimming, sailing, and entering, briefly, a rhythm very different from my own.
