Florence grew up in Lyon, France and trained as an engineer. She spent 8 years specializing in supply chain and logistics, helping companies improve their operational processes and later managing operations in warehousing. A first job in Singapore led her to visit Southeast Asia and revealed her passion for travelling, from the Chilean deserts to the jungle of Borneo. Discovering the world outside of her home country also fueled her growing interest for social impact. She spent 2 months volunteering in Bangladesh in 2012 where she discovered microcredit. Last year, she pursued her MBA at INSEAD, graduating in 2016, to gain a broader perspective and expand her knowledge of strategy and finance. In her free time, she loves snowboarding and kitesurfing.
