About Me

Since I was very young, I've developed a strong taste for project creation and management, and for the universe of the Internet. After learning a lot towards my own small projects, I've decided to make the competitive exams for French Business Schools, and I entered HEC Paris in 2007. After a first internship at Deezer, French leader for Free Streaming Music, I joined Google in June 2009. I'm currently looking for an 8-month internship in North America or in South-East Asia starting in January 2010, through which I can both achieve new challenges, and bring a lot to the company I will join.
