Please provide a brief snapshot of your career at CBS Outdoor.
I joined CBS Outdoor in September 2008 to run the French Outdoor Advertising Business. This is the second largest market in our portfolio after the UK and primarily a billboard business. We are a co-leader on the largest segment of the French market.
Before joining CBS Outdoor, I worked for 8 years at Vivendi Universal, in general management positions, in industries such as Video Games, Internet Advertising, and Publishing. I was then the COO of La Martiniere Groupe, a Paris based International Publishing Group specializing in illustrated books.
I have had the opportunity to work in the US - West Coast and East Coast - and I have learnt a lot from the differences and similarities in the way business is done on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean – not bad going for an European!
What do you enjoy doing on the move?
I love food when I’m on the move and like to try different types of food. My goal is to have tested as many types of food as possible, across all continents. I am probably at 60% of that goal already, working hard to get to 100%.
What are you most proud of?
Staying true to what I believe in after 15 years in management positions.
