Career
Biography

Former student of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris-Saclay, of the University of Oxford and of ESSEC (specializtion in the Chair of Urban Economics), I acquired academic skills these last years, as well as operational ones, within consulting firms in local and urban development (EY, Algoé) and public structures (City of Paris, Conseil départemental des Yvelines). I completed a PhD in geography and economic sociology in Sciences Po Paris, in cooperation with the London School of Economics, on the compared metropolitan dynamics of Greater Paris and Greater London, in mirror of their respective economic governances. I am currently Professor for the Chair of Urban Economics of ESSEC Business School and pedagogical responsible of the Advanced Master in Urban and Real-Estate Management. My areas of research relate to the drivers for the economic dynamics of cities and territories, as well as of their social and environmental balances, to location choices by firms and households, and of the role of economic (public/private) governance of cities in their dynamics.
