FRANÇOIS CATALA
For almost 20 years, 2 words have characterized François' career: training and culture. After working in strategy and public affairs consulting for the content industries (TV, radio, web, cinema), François was an advisor in a ministerial cabinet, in charge of cinema, audiovisual, video games and digital. He then joined the education and training ecosystem, first as deputy director of Réseau Canopé (a public organization that creates educational resources and services for the educational community), then as director of Viaéduc, the first social network for education professionals in France. He co-founded LAFAAAC in 2017 with the ambition of offering creative youth in Africa the means to train effectively and quickly in creative industry professions.
XAVIER DURANTON
After business studies and a spell in auditing, I joined an e-commerce start-up, where I spent six years as CFO, overseeing its rapid expansion. Nearly ten years ago, I set up my own consulting firm, enabling me to offer my skills to a number of different companies simultaneously. This has the dual advantage of
to tackle a wide range of issues, but also to choose my fields of intervention by focusing on companies whose mission is meaningful.
And as such, it's with great pleasure that I boarded the LAFAAAC train in 2019.
JULIA BORDEAUX MONTRIEUX
Putting people at the heart of my career path has always been a driving force in my life, a sort of common thread. First as a lawyer, then as an HR specialist, I travelled the world, and especially Africa, for many years, putting my skills at the service of associations and NGOs. Driven by LAFAAAC's raison d'être and particularly human vision, I am now fully committed to my role as Human Resources Manager.

After an initial experience as a training manager in the field of social integration, I decided to specialize in e-learning. I first joined LAFAAAC on a sandwich course before joining the teaching team.

As a project manager at LAFAAAC, my missions enable me to combine my interests in education, culture and their potential for social impact.
MONIA DAHMANE
Marked by a deep interest in intercultural communication, journalism, international relations and Harry Potter among others, it's only natural that today I work at LAFAAAC in project management in pedagogy and communication. After studying political science and international relations, with a specialization in African issues, I joined LAFAAAC as an intern for the first time in 2020, and I'm honored to be part of the team full-time today. LAFAAAC's activities are at the crossroads of education, digital, culture and international development: areas that drive me and in which I hope to continue to develop professionally.

I'm Hilary, a business school student and work-study student at LAFAAAC. Thanks to my various professional and academic opportunities abroad, I've developed a real interest in expatriation and training. Today, I support Xavier in administrative and financial matters. In fact, I'm in charge of financing, invoicing and reporting, and I also help out with a few HR tasks, particularly concerning integration and recruitment.
CÔME RIBAULT
I'm Côme, I'm studying brand strategy at a communications school and I'm doing my work-study placement with LAFAAAC as a digital marketing project manager.

EMMANUEL BOCQUET
Having fallen into the digital potion as a child (in the last century), I have integrated and supported hundreds of companies, large and small, on this fertile but complex crossroads between technology and business. Digital marketing, e-commerce and e-business are the keys to a profound transformation that I distill. I help steer the B2C upstream to identify potential learners and convince them to train in cultural entrepreneurship in Africa.
JEAN LALANDE
With an appetite for the web and IT, I previously worked in the bakery sector, and in 2021 I made a career change into web and mobile web development. I joined LAFAAAC as an intern at the beginning of 2022 and am now continuing my mission within the team on a freelance basis.
