Biography
I’m CEO and CCO of Publicis Conseil in Paris and CCO of Publicis Groupe France, leading around 800 creative talents.
I started in 2001 as a copywriter in Milan at BGS/D’Arcy, Publicis, BBDO, Havas.
In 2010, I moved to Paris and joined the Havas-owned Agence H as Creative Director, winning all major awards in France and globally. In 2014 I was appointed Executive Creative Director of the newly-born agency Les Gaulois, making it the most award-winning Havas agency in the world at the Cannes Lions. Then I returned to Publicis as Global ECD for the Heineken account, crafting campaigns for UEFA Champions League, James Bond and F1 partnerships, and launching Heineken 0.0.
I served as president or juror in all main national and international awards, including Eurobest, the LIAA, New York Festival, Clio, D&AD and three times at Cannes Lions.
So far, I've collected hundreds of awards and 71 Cannes Lions, including 3 Grand Prix.
Last year, Publicis Conseil was ranked 2nd most creative agency in the world at Cannes Lions. This almost made me happy.
