Quotes

I needed to structure my career, share my experience of a large company, move on to more complex, larger deals yet still be a part of the local economy.
In 1996, Auguste-Thouard and Bourdais* were the main agents in Marseille. The emblematic team at Bourdais was a dream for me. After working with Bourdais on several projects, the company offered me a job in Aix-en-Provence. It didn’t take me long to make up my mind given the existing team and the opportunity of working for such a group.

For me life is continually moving forward and this profession is all about moving. I love working as an intermediary, which involves facing challenges and being precise. Dealing with unforeseen circumstances enables me to use my initiative and pushes me to give my best.
“Selling”, in the broadest meaning of the word, is always a very personal experience involving curiosity and creativity.

* Bourdais merged with CBRE in 2004
