FROM AN EARLY AGE, I was fascinated by the fashion industry, perfumes ads, storytelling, and anything that would make me dream. At 6 years old, I started ice-skating because I wanted to fly like a bird, have wardrobe of beautiful and glittering dresses. Ice skating introduced perseverance, endurance, and creativity in my character. At a very young age, I began to work on myself and to search for my life purpose. I attended my first conference on self-confidence at the age of only 10 years old. I was the youngest in the audience, to the amazement of the people around me that day!I continued to work on myself and became multilingual in my teens thanks to the many language exchanges and trips to England, Scotland, Spain and Taiwan.I knew I was meant for great things. I decided to live a little, challenge my inner youth by living in several continents and working for well-known organizations such as the Fashion Weeks (New Zealand Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week and London Fashion Week), Verve Magazine, Art Partner London etc. After a few years of trains, planes, living in various countries, working in many industries I decided it was time to further my studies with an MBA in International Marketing and Brand Management at an International Business School in Lyon, France. With all my experience and expertise I was head hunted to work for a few multibillion dollar international groups including L'Oréal luxe. My main roles were luxury brand management, content marketing creation, communication and strategic planning at Group level.After traveling to 5 of the 6 continents, the only missing piece was Africa. So I decided to go to visit Wild Africa not knowing that I would be captivated and even fall in love with South Africa.There and then, I wanted to work in a company that resonates with me; holds the same values, is dynamic, atypical with style and attitude.  I've always loved the idea of a female leader with an “iron fist in a velvet glove”. Being a bold, ambitious, visionary while remaining true to myself in all circumstances. Another dream has come true, as my partner and I co-created in South Africa our Marketing, Brand and Finance company. For the last few years in Cape Town, I have been the Co-CEO of Melanie and Juvan Pty Ltd and a CMO to many small companies and entrepreneurs. Now, it is time for us to write a new chapter in France as we are heading back there for good. I am looking forward to creating magic with you!
