Energy markets, geopolitics, Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific. Eighteen years in the energy sector, lecturer at leading French schools since 2010, associate fellow at the Fondation Jean-Jaurès.
Published by Fondation Jean-Jaurès, this note examines electricity governance challenges in three Central African capitals — Kinshasa, Douala, Brazzaville — where metropolitan areas concentrate demand without having decision-making power over the electrical systems that serve them.
Article published in the Global Taiwan Brief on Taiwan's paradiplomacy: TECRO networks, NGO-based diplomacy, decentralized cooperation, and performed sovereignty in the face of diplomatic isolation.
Op-ed published in the 聯合報 (United Daily News), one of Taiwan's major daily newspapers (page A14): why does Taiwan pay its energy bill twice — once in a subsidized electricity price, once in taxes to cover the public utility's losses? NT$420 billion in cumulative deficit, ten days of gas reserves — and a problem that is less about technology than about governance.
Organizations I train for
Energy and geopolitics often look technical and reserved for specialists. My work is to make them clear and useful — for students, a newsroom or an executive team.
This approach is grounded in experience: eighteen years in the energy sector and twelve years in elected office in the Lyon metropolitan area. Markets, grids and public decision-making — I practised them before teaching them.
An associate fellow at the Fondation Jean-Jaurès, I publish regularly with think tanks and in the press, in France and abroad, with a particular interest in scientific and technological cooperation as a lever of power.
I have been teaching since 2010 — at Sciences Po Paris, Grenoble École de Management, Université Lyon 1 and elsewhere, in French and English, along with executive training for the public and private sectors.
This perspective was also shaped in the field, notably in Cambodia and Ukraine.
