I was in Ghent, Belgium a few days ago.

Stunning architecture and lights, making me feel as if I were in a Harry Potter movie.

People there mostly use bikes to move.

This city brought to me lots of energy and new ideas.

Inspiring.

Just had a coffee with a client near the amazing St Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral in Nice, France.

Built between 1903 and 1912, it is the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe.

Taking a break in the French Alps. Not so much snow at the moment but skiing still feels great.

Cap d'Antibes, South of France, seen from the sea.

This is a picture of the "Billionaires' bay" I took during summer 2016.

In December, the water is a little too cold here to really enjoy a long swim 😅

Becoming a speaker is just like building a product: start small, stick to what you know best, get feedback from your audience, then improve from there.

I was invited at this event (~100 people) to talk about the impact of AI on corporations. A topic I have discussed a lot on LinkedIn since 2022.

Back in 2018, on a trip to Rome, I was reading "Antifragile" by Nassim Taleb.

While sitting on the Piazza Navona, in front of the Fountain of Neptune, I decided to quit my job and start my own company, so I can build from anywhere, anytime.

And experience more beautiful places like this one.

One day, we will all agree on the answer.

Maybe 😄

Some good vibes in the old village of Tourettes today. South of #France.

The castle in the background was built in the early XIXth century, during the Napoleonic era.

Monaco is an oddity on the French Riviera.

It is an independent city-state, the second smallest one in the world after Vatican City and also the most densely populated.

Modern buildings are rubbing shoulders with Art Nouveau / Belle Epoque constructions, such as the famous Casino.

Located between Nice and Monte-Carlo, Cap Ferrat is one of the most sought-after areas of the French Riviera.

Beautiful, calm and timeless.

Walking down the "Green Corridor" in Nice sometimes feels like touching the sky.

French Riviera is one of the most amazing places on Earth.

There you can ski and waterski on the same day, as snowy mountains are less than 2 hours away by car from the Mediterranean sea.

This picture shows the city of Antibes, founded 400 BC by the ancient Greeks.
