What does it mean to be Legal Counsel?
It means protecting S4M’s interests and ensuring the company complies with all the regulations in force – like GDPR or CCPA to only name the most famous – while helping the business grow.

How would you describe yourself?
I’m an optimistic and joyful person, even if I can be a little shy at times. I also think that I’m pragmatic, which allows me to approach one situation after the other to get out of any problem. This is particularly useful these days, what with the pandemic.

If you could switch positions with a colleague, who would it be and why?
I’d go for someone from the Marketing team because, for me, it’s a very interesting and complete job. You have to be creative and a good communicator to create the supports, strategic to put forward the company’s vision and even a little bit technical to properly understand the product and promote it.

What’s the craziest object you have on your desk?
I’d say it’s a hippo-shaped pencil holder. It was a gift at the Secret Santa we organized last year in our Paris office. Thanks Steve! It’s very useful to keep my desk tidy, as things tend to quickly pile up on top of it.
