“I went and worked in Wuhan for a year in the automotive industry after studying engineering in university. I was born and raised in Paris, but have Chinese origins and wanted to learn more about that part of my background. I also spoke some Mandarin, so I helped a school there create a program on entrepreneurship. And from that experience, I knew that when I returned to France, I wanted to be an entrepreneur.
My time in China really taught me that if you try something, it will either work out or something will come out of it because people want to be involved in interesting opportunities and around people with energy. If you surround yourself with the right ecosystem, things can happen very fast, which I’ve tried to replicate in Australia.
As a founder today, I think my main strength is that I really, really care about the people that I work with. I try to get the best of them and to help them grow into the best version of themselves. I think that’s influenced by my mother, who is a psychologist. Growing up, that was always part of the conversation—understanding how your actions make other people feel. I come back to that often.”
