Currently I'm based in Paris, France and I serve as the Head of Business Development and Content at HOUSE OF PODCASTS,

where I lead the editorial and commercial strategy. House of Podcasts is a global content production house + recording studio.

In fall 2015, I joined AFROSTREAM, the first streaming/OTT platform known as the "Netflix for African and African-American" serving the European + African market.

As the Chief Content Officer, Programming and Distribution

I drove Afrostream distribution business forward by implementing major partnerships with telco and partners (FMGC, Market place, Gas station…) across Europe and Africa.

I also built the company acquisition and production content offering nearly 20,000 SVOD assets, TV channel and podcasts in multiple language across 40+ countries. During those years I've learn how to move in a startup environment using lean management and delivered an amazing product experience.

Prior to Afrostream, I was appointed as MY ZEN TV Managing Director (2014). My Zen TV is an international lifestyle TV channel dedicated to wellness available in 80+ countries (25M+ subs - 130+ platforms). I successfully handled the brand relaunch and repositioning. Optimized the P&L and increased revenue by 17% thanks to new market expansion and launch of local version (Russian, Spanish and Turkish). More than that I redeployed the OTT streaming offer.

I've shaped my career in the media during my 14 years at LAGARDERE ACTIVE (acquired in 2019 by M6 Group). As the SVP Global Media Distribution I was responsible for overseeing the Distribution business of a portfolio of 15+ TV channels, pop up channels and non linear services.
At this position I generated a yearly +60M$ turnover with a long history of YOY revenue growth (85% of the TV activies revenue). I played a key role in driving Lagardere pursuit of new growth opportunities including the launch of 13 TV channel from scratch in multiple language over 100 territories and M&A. I've learned how to manage multicultural team and affiliates trought complex international environment.

I hold a Master Degree in Media, Design and Art and earned a Bachelor Degree of Applied Arts from the prestigious French school of Art & Design "Ecole Boulle".

I speak French, English and Spanish.

I was born in the Caribbean. I spend the majority of my free time: riding horses, discovering Art, new interior design, meditating or traveling the world (50+ countries) with family and friends.

I am an active advocate for #Inclusion and #Selfcare.
