Show profile Hide profileI am Mauritian, which I believe is a huge gift and source of pride. Mauritius is a small miracle in itself. Its success lies in its people who came from Europe, Africa, India and China. I grew up with friends from different cultures, faiths and origins, and thanks to that, I feel at home on every continent.
Following a Masters Degree in Visual Communication, I began my career as an art director at the LOWE agency in Paris. After seven years spent in the capital, I headed back to Mauritius, my homeland, as the creative director of Circus Advertising, a partner agency of Publicis Africa Group.
Taking over the agency as a Managing Director in 2011, my first challenge was to make sure that the cultural values of the agency lived on. I am convinced that they are the source of our success. Circus is about Audacity, Creativity, Rigour and Togetherness.
In 2013, I was appointed the role of Executive Creative Director of Publicis Africa Group.
As a creative leader, my role is to make sure the team wins! I am proud that during the last few years, Circus has become the most awarded agency of the Indian Ocean and was ranked 5th most creative African agency in 2015 at the African Cristal Festival. Moreover, Publicis Africa Group was ranked 1st African Network at the African Cristal Festival.
I am really passionate about art. Besides being a songwriter & composer, I am also a photographer having held exhibitions in both Mauritius and Africa. I was greatly honoured to be selected among the 30 African photographers for a major exhibition at the Pan-African Festival of Algiers in 2009, entitled "REFLETS D'AFRIQUE".
