INSPIRATION
Matthieu’s grandmother taught him the important principles of life. Another important mentor was Paul, his former boss, who was the first to believe in Matthieu and to support his potential.
CHALLENGES
When he was a child, Matthieu’s obsession was basketball and he played for almost 12 years. He was a very good player but not good enough to make it a career, so he stopped playing at 16 to focus on his studies.
SPECIAL VEHICLES
