In June 2000, he co-founded Webhelp SA with Olivier Duha, evolving from IT support services to outsourcing business operations 🌐.
In 2014, he secured a 50-year lease for Relais de Chambord hotel 🏨 near the Château de Chambord, entrusting Jean-Michel Wilmotte with its renovation 🛠️. The hotel reopened in 2018 with 55 rooms and a gourmet restaurant 🍽️. He acquired Beaux Arts Magazine in 2016 🖌️ and Le Quotidien de l’Art in 2017 🗞️.
