About Frédéric

The journalism profession taught me a certain way of nurturing and processing information.

I have developed a certain care for narrative coherence, that invisible link that makes a story stand up or not.

My love for storytelling drives me to make every piece of news an adventure, human, technological, intellectual, exploratory, scientific, cultural...

My roles as editor-in-chief have refined my editorial vision, placing the reader, listener, or viewer at the forefront - because, ultimately, it is for them that we strive.

They also taught me how to manage workflows, people, and costs.

My fundamental nature is geared towards the collective, but I have also learned to manage on my own.
