A graduate admin of EDHEC (98) joined the nursery of future admin talent of the group in 2003, in auditing and business development.

What principles have governed your career? What were the milestones? Having spent a significant part of my life abroad, I felt like abroad.

I then joined Ernst & Young, and Pernod Ricard in 2003 at the Department Audit and Business Development admin headquarters in Paris. It's a choice I do not regret, the department I joined was a little nursery of future talents of Pernod Ricard and a breeding ground for international. I participated in several acquisitions and disposals, before admin being appointed CFO of the Indian subsidiary. Two and a half later I left the United States in a similar position. The finance function at Pernod Ricard is not a traditional function, it is very business oriented admin and allows to be close sales, marketing or production, in short it is a function very ground.
What have you gained your training at EDHEC? A very solid education, particularly in Finance. Another plus is the intellectual maturity admin that one could acquire through the associative fabric which gave an initial understanding of the business environment and that helped me. I was in the BDE, it was very nice.

We invest heavily in marketing, structure and recruitment with the clear goal of becoming admin the market leader. We are already strong in this market admin and we want to be even stronger.
What characterizes Brazil? It is a fascinating country with a very festive side, very Latin, very young and very dynamic. It is also a rapidly developing country that moves very quickly which is both very positive but brings its own challenges. For example, Sao Paulo, the country's economic powerhouse and Rio are facing real security problems. We will prepare for that the two events admin that lie ahead for 2014 and 2016, the World Cup and the Olympic Games, which lead to investment admin in security and infrastructure and provide us real opportunities. We are already witnessing the transformation of cities, particularly Sao Paolo and Rio, which will host the 2014 World Cup.
