I joined Island Innovation in 2020 in order to lead the efforts on the internal operations with the customers, sponsors, the Island Finance Forum and the Virtual Island Summit. What I love about Island Innovation is that we share the same values to make this world a better place by putting all the islands together to find solutions to meet the UN development goals. I believe that it is through combining our knowledge that we will have the most impact.
I have a Master’s Degree in Communication and Marketing, and a Bachelor of Business Degree from the University of Paris, and worked in both Silicon Valley and India. The exposure to different cultures and mindsets has made me very resilient and that’s a quality that I’m very proud of.
I live in Guadeloupe, a French island in the Caribbean where I like to spend my time gardening, hiking, swimming in the ocean. Equality and innovation are topics that I care deeply about which is why I am constantly involved in philanthropy and get involved as a speaker by organizations to talk about gender equality and LGBT+ inclusion.

Secret skill: I always take cuts of plants wherever I travel. I have grown 100s of plants and fruit trees between India and Guadeloupe!

Our flagship event, the Virtual Island Summit, is one of the biggest events for sustainable development. Every year, it brings together over 10,000 stakeholders from around the world for a week-long virtual event covering every timezone.
This occasional newsletter highlights events and stories about innovation in sustainable development for rural, remote and island regions. We want to change the discourse to demonstrate how islandness can be a driver for innovation.
