With nearly a decade of experience living and working in France for American multinationals, I founded Lafayette Services in order to address common issues encountered over the course of my career.
From integrating satellite offices acquired from global M&A deals, to smoothing construction issues lost in translation during office buildouts, to managing shipments between France and UK/Switzerland, I have significant experience resolving pain points between American global headquarters and French local offices. Inspired by the Marquis de Lafayette, who participated in both French and American Revolutions, my mission is to leverage this experience to facilitate your business operations.
Prior to founding Lafayette Services, I worked as the head of Digital Workplace Services for Procter & Gamble, where I managed the IT and facilities infrastructure for offices and factories across France. At Sotheby's, I lead digital operations for continental Europe.
Before moving to Paris I worked in New York City as an electrical engineer for Arup, a UK-based multinational engineering firm, where I designed electrical infrastructure for a wide variety of buildings including airports, government facilities, and coworking spaces.
I hold a Bachelors and Masters of Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University, as well as an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University.
