Experience built at the heart of media

My career has taken me from film to broadcasting groups, then to platforms and creators. At STUDIOCANAL, RTL Group, M6 and Jellysmack, I worked on new business development, business models and media transformation.

I founded StellaR Contents in 2024 to build on this experience and work at the intersection of media, brands, platforms and talent.

A common thread: understanding how content creates value, finds its audience and becomes a sustainable business.
