After completing a Master's degree in Contemporary History at ENS Lyon and a second in War Studies at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, he worked as a Project Manager on digital and cyber issues at the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs' Center for analysis, foresight and strategy (Centre d'analyse, de prévision et de stratégie, CAPS).

Support independent French research

Ifri, a foundation recognized as being of public utility, relies largely on private donors – companies and individuals – to guarantee its sustainability and intellectual independence. Through their funding, donors help maintain the Institute's position among the world's leading think tanks. By benefiting from an internationally recognized network and expertise, donors refine their understanding of geopolitical risk and its consequences on global politics and the economy. In 2024, Ifri will support more than 70 French and foreign companies and organizations.
