As an American who studied French literature & civilization in Paris in the early 1980s, I decided to live & work in France in 1994 at the ripe young age of 44.
Hidden in my baggage was 15 years as an independent financial publisher in New York City, academic credentials in International Management (MA) and a BA in liberal arts from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
What is not apparent in my resumé is a long and active interest in financial, macroeconomic & governmental affairs, backed up with years of political debates and volumes of reading.
As an American cartesian, I strongly believe that these fields are closely inter-related, which is why I am surprised to see so few journalist master or even take an active interest in them.
As a financial translator, I have come across quite a broad spectrum of French and European companies, each with their own culture and offerings. My goal is to share with readers technologies and other innovations in the workplace which I find utterly surprizing, including in the areas of ecology, transport, energy, recycling, agriculture & industry.
Beyond the hard news, I would also like to share some of my experiences in France, like a recent visit to roadside restaurant in a charming French province owned by an adorable Irish family, or a peak into one of my favorite Parisian restaurants or my frequent visits to some of the small, historic villages in France.
