Thank you to: Laurence D., Dominique C., Anne D., Monique E., Georges E., Frédéric F., Marco F. for the elbow grease and brainpower, for your presence throughout this human and professional journey.

I have wonderful memories of our discussions and creativity—6 hours can pass by so quickly! Thanks to those little lights that continue to shine from where they are, some that I’ve known and others that I’ve come to know, thank you for your inspiring absence and presence. Lastly, a simple but intense thank you to Célien, for being by my side, for being a supportive and kind presence, thank you for our exchanges, thank you for being who you are.
