Hyperactive and tireless, he delivers keynote speeches across the globe (nearly 200 in two years), consults for multinational corporations, and writes for Le Point.

Born in Pithiviers in the Loiret in 1986, he grew up in the Parisian suburbs in an educational priority zone before embarking on an incredible academic journey that earned him no fewer than three doctorates before the age of thirty.
Thirsting for knowledge, he studied diverse fields such as geopolitics, literature, and neuroscience. An affiliated researcher at Stanford University, he is also an entrepreneur who has founded three companies, including a zero-interest microcredit firm aimed at the agricultural sector in Senegal.

A proponent of biomimicry—a discipline that draws inspiration from nature to innovate rather than destroy it—he strives to convey to the general public the scientific knowledge he gathers in quenching his thirst for learning. This popularisation work allows him to reach a wide audience, such as through his "neuro-playful" show (Les Extraordinaires) on TF1 or his online videos where his humor and speaking talents hit the mark.Language spoken by the speaker
