01 — EXPERIENCE
THE SEA TAUGHT ME
HOW TO DECIDE.
I crossed the Atlantic at fifteen and have since devoted my life to competition, team leadership and the most demanding maritime projects.
From winning the Solitaire du Figaro to the round-the-world victory aboard L’Esprit d’Équipe, from maxi yachts to maritime infrastructure, one conviction has guided me: lasting success never rests on one person alone, but on a clear vision, a committed team and a precise understanding of the field.
