I started my higher education in the fields of science, economics and finance, where I obtained two master’s degrees and became a qualified actuary. I then carried out a professional activity in insurance supervision by public authorities, lastly in an international organization in Switzerland. Since 2019, I have been dedicating myself to literary and artistic activities, which have always been part of my major areas of interest. In 2022 I earned a master’s degree in General & Compared Literature in the University of the New Sorbonne Paris 3 in June 2022, with highest honours. I am now a researcher and PhD candidate in French and General Literature at the University of Basel, Switzerland.

Quelle régulation mondiale pour les assurances ?

Annales des Mines - Réalités industrielles, 2015

The International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) regulates the insurance industry wo... more The International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) regulates the insurance industry worldwide through standards drawn up in three successive phases: the insurance core principles (ICPs); a common framework (ComFrame) for supervising internationally active insurance groups (IAIGs); and specific measures for globally systemically important insurers (G-SIIs). The IAIS has set ambitious objectives, in particular, to draft in three years the first international capital standards (ICS). These risk-based standards will apply to IAIGs and inevitably have a considerable impact. Although the IAIS takes into account what exists on the regional or national levels, its work is not intended to mirror any existing standard. Since each nation-state will have to transpose IAIS standards, the systems now being enforced will have to be adjusted. The IAIS and its members are convinced that this change is in the general interest. But 2016 is not the terminus of IAIS activities in this field. The organization will examine the phases of transposition and transition; and eventually have to reexamine the construction and calibration of capital standards. As we see, the worldwide regulation of the insurance industry by the IAIS is a long-term project.

"Solitude and Existential Questioning in Poems by Louise Ackermann, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson & Marie Noël", Master Thesis in General & Compared Literature supervised by Inès Horchani, University of Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, successfully defended on June 27th, 2022

Louise Ackermann, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson & Marie Noël were all... more Louise Ackermann, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson & Marie Noël were all female authors who lived in seclusion, largely voluntarily, without seeking social contacts nor outside adventure, for at least a major part of their lives if not the totality. All wrote poetry that reflected a contrastingly extremely rich inner life, stemming from constant existential questioning, and this inner journey did not take place without endangering their in-depth being. This thesis first examines how in their cases the links appeared between solitude – after having considered which kinds of solitude are relevant – and a poetry reflecting existential questioning. Then it analyses where this questioning has brought them in respect of their human, social and individual identities: how they defined themselves as female poets and how they approached love, physical aspects and maternity as well as the society of their time. Finally it studies the effects of this questioning on their inner experiences in their approaches to nature as well as to suffering and death and eventually considers their most intimate mystical and spiritual adventures. The thesis thus reveals common patterns of sensibility, behaviour and creation, which all, beyond spiritual divergences, serve a similar conception of poetry, which turns out to be ontological.
