Entrepreneur, Project Leader in complex environments, International Speaker
To put forward one’s own biography, an essential synthesis to show all of one’s experience and legitimacy is not an easy thing to do. My career path is rich in accumulated experiences, tortuous and yet coherent. Nature is well made and our life paths, however far-fetched they may seem, have a golden thread… a real quest in our existence!
I have not been spared with life orientations at the antipodes of each other and particularly difficult passages… to the point of pulling out one’s hair! And indeed, my credo is to always have tried to face “Chaos & Complexity” to reach “Performance & Harmony”! It’s not easy, but I’m holding on to the thread of my life: UltraPerformance through Human Empowerment!
UltraPerformance, a new leadership model
Ever since I was a child, I have always been fascinated by the way men have surpassed themselves in their fighter planes or in the conquest of space. By embodying an innovative approach to leadership and management, I have been able to express myself fully in the most complex environments. My credo: to confront “Chaos & Complexity” to achieve “UltraPerformance & Harmony” by putting human fulfillment at the center of my concerns. My approach to leadership and management is to build performance on innovation and interdisciplinarity, on people and on surpassing oneself..
In application of my philosophy of UltraPerformance , my challenge for the next 3 years is to revolutionize the world of windsurfing and board sports in general: this is the ZEPHIR project, Humanity and Innovation pour des Records, a real laboratory for the organizations of tomorrow.
With Antoine Albeau, the most successful Frenchman with 25 world championship titles and numerous world speed records (current record 53.27 knots), we have put together a team of 80 people working in 50 companies around the world. We are creating the “augmented” windsurfing board to go for the world speed record for all sails combined, i.e. to pass 65.45 knots (over 121 km/h).
