PRESIDENT OF RISINGSUD

He has been Regional Councillor (mandate renewed in 2021) and President of the Economy Commission (in the broad sense) - currently named Economic and Digital Development, Industry, Attractiveness and Export - since 2015.

He is also president of RisingSUD, of the Supervisory Board of the Société des Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur and of the IMREDD Board. He represents the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region in many bodies of the regional economic and academic fabric. He was President of the Nice Côte d'Azur Chamber of Commerce and Industry from 2011 to 2016 and continues to sit on the CCIR.

In his personal life, as well as in all his mandates, the ecological transition is at the heart of his decisions.

He is a fervent defender of the Climate Plan I and II of the Région Sud.
