Episode 9 ✨ French Women who thrive in New York 🇫🇷🇺🇸 @mbgirard, Mentor in #Tech companies, and her adorable labradoodle 🐶 welcomed the Consul General @CFouriscot in her home, in West Village! "To succeed in New York City, you have to know how to #pitch yourself!" 💬

Super soirée avec @HugoTravers ce soir, merci @FrenchFounders New York. Pour un créateur de contenu comme Hugo, pas besoin d’un social media manager, mais plutôt d’un manager par social media

Delighted to see fellow #GovTech advocate and ex-colleague @DanielKorski run for London Mayor! From Afghanistan to Westminster to GovTech startups in the UK, France, Germany, Daniel brings a unique range of skills to the table. Go team Korski!

@DanielKorski Congrats @DanielKorski ! Rooting for you all the way from New York!!! Best of luck!

It’s time to restore the London dream. That's why I’m standing to be the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London. London is increasingly a Labour city, but more Labour has not meant a greater London. We need a fresh approach. One that embraces new ideas, new technologies, and an entrepreneurial spirit. Let's make the London Dream a reality. #korski4london #restorethelondondream

If the answer is Boris Johnson, you haven’t understood the question.

Yesterday I had the pleasure & honour of interviewing @jattali for @FrenchFounders . We talked about experts vs politicians, a divided yet strong Europe, Russia, China & how to deal with their belligerent leaders, why invest in the economy of life (education, clean energy).

Magnifique discours d'Emmanuel Macron à l'ONU aujourd'hui youtu.be/2KQpRmYCZxo

Meanwhile in the UK… Less than 200,000 overwhelmingly middle class, white and over 50 males are choosing the next Prime Minister. Still can’t get my head around this.

Cruel - inhumane - utterly bizarre and nonsensical - expensive - bad for climate - the words are missing. This is what the UK Government is focussing its efforts on right now?!

Just read in the @FT that the Diia app, the Ukrainian government portal for digital documents such as Covid passes, was used to allow citizens to upload Russian army locations. Smart. #govtech

Relieved to see Francois Fillon resign from his roles in Russia and to hear Jean-Luc Melenchon condemn the invasion of Ukraine - at last!!

Wishing everyone a happy, successful and most definitely hybrid new year 2022! May flexibility and trust prevail :)

Honoured to be on STATION F’s selection board - always amazed by the creativity and diversity of Founders Program applicants 💪👏 stationf.co/news/discover-…

Another great initiative by my friends at @PUBLIC_Team. Go #GovTech!!

I had fun judging the @HECParis UK #startup launchpad 2021. Best of luck to all 6 finalists, in particular the team behind Sibyl whom I had the pleasure to mentor!
