Biography

I am the Principal Games Venture Capital Business Development Manager for EMEA at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where I help gaming studios and startups backed by venture capital firms and business angels to create and distribute amazing games with AWS. I have been in this role for six months, and I love combining my passion for gaming and entrepreneurship with my expertise in cloud computing and business development. I have over 20 years of experience in hospitality, entrepreneurship, and investment, spanning multiple sectors and geographies. I am an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and I speak four languages. I have founded, led, and invested in several startups, including Dayuse.com, a leading online platform for hotel day rooms. I have also worked as a hospitality operator, a restaurant owner, and a concierge in some of the most prestigious hotels in Paris. I enjoy mentoring and advising other entrepreneurs and investors, and I am always eager to learn new things and collaborate with others. My mission is to leverage all that the AWS ecosystem has to offer to empower and enable game creators and developers to achieve their goals and dreams.
