Autonomy Paris
Autonomy Paris (10/2015 to 05/2017)
Fourth person on board to help create the first lifestyle-oriented urban mobility festival reuniting product makers, political enablers and city planners. This was my first real sales-focused mission, but understanding and believing in the story of the event made it easy to get my network excited about it and want to participate. My role involved selling exhibition space to companies in the urban mobility industry (bikes, kick-scooters, motorbikes, accessories, charging stations, e-mobility, services, etc). I personally sold 40% of total exhibitor space in first edition.
I also had the pleasure of moderating a discussion during the event on the economic and cultural differences of raising funds in the United States vs France with Yann Marteil of Via-ID and Shaun Abrahamson of Urban.Us. (Paroles aux investisseurs: "Débat sur les différences culturelles et économiques des investissements français et américains dans le secteur de la mobilité.")
