WHICH TECHNOLOGY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DISRUPT THE CURRENT STATUS QUO IN YOUR FIELD?

Energy efficiency

VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF ENERGY : I'm advocating for a just and fair transition that takes better into account the risks of vulnerability and the necessity for energy market and services to be more inclusive.

EXCITING CURRENT PROJECTS : COST ENGAGER - research network on energy poverty.

WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE LIKED TO KNOW WHEN YOU STARTED YOUR CAREER IN ENERGY?

I wish I had known that there are many fields to work in the energy sector: the human/social sciences aspects are as important as the technological parts. And yes, you can be 23 and be a visionary, you can be young and right about the future of energy. In fact, when I started with Total, some colleagues told me I was crazy when I talked about opening the portfolio and divesting into RES. And now Total is changing its name to TotalEnergies to better reflect its new reality!
