Ambassador of Occitanie 2026
I am deeply honoured and grateful to be elected laureate by this year's jury of Racines Sud expat network backed by Racines Sud international affairs, to serve as Ambassador for Occitanie region of France where I am from, to the rest of the world, and in particular to the of Guangdong where I planted my HQ in Shenzhen 10 years ago.
Special thanks to my candidacy tutor Prof Dr Lionel Torres who hinted about the upcoming session of this regional program during a brief exchange last October at his director office of Polytech Montpellier 🙏🏻
It took me a month to meticulously prepare my files (rampaging about my 22 years abroad - apparently I wrote one too many pages after all 😅 but hey 22 years! With 10 years in the UK before China) in addition to my fully devoted works with and
Heartfelt gratitude to Emmanuelle Darras for her impeccable organisation and an amazingly distinguished graduation ceremony followed with a lively networking dining cocktail reception within our dear Musée Fabre 🎨
Many congratulations to the other laureates I was glad to meet on 18th December evening as well as all the other candidates. We are a robust and resilient expat team from Occitanie. Next session we shift & roll, but always together!
1. I want to help our expat alumni and the exchange students
2. connect potential partners and networks
3. keep campaigning for sober innovation, frugal AI data, and sustainable development
Wherever in the world, I am all ears, and remember I am your remote eyes and hands to assess products & services internationally. Count on me!!
