About Iris

With ten years of experience in events and hospitality/restaurant, I am driven by global projects and people.
From managing the opening of high-end establishments (Villa La Coste and Domaine de Panery), many years as a true right-hand person to top executives, and a global understanding of the events sector (client, organizer, and provider, particularly at GL events), my comprehensive vision of projects and my natural understanding of individual needs and motivations allow me to offer tailor-made support, with a strong sense of service.

With a real sense of listening and strong social intelligence, I offer evolving project management, respecting constraints (time, financial, human, etc.) for smooth follow-up - while maintaining the notion of pleasure.
My primary goal is to simplify your life, in a reliable and reassuring way.
