I am honoured to be part of the Choiseul Alsace 2026 ranking, alongside 99 other women and men who work every day for the energy, innovation and reach of our region, in sectors as varied as industry, digital technology, logistics and culture.

I came to Strasbourg from Italy a few years ago for science, and I stayed for Alsace. The Vosges, the small villages in the hills, the quiet way people here make room for you. It won me over without warning. My daughter was born in Strasbourg, and it is here that, together with the co-founders (Philippe Blot, Guido Pupillo, Johannes Schachenmayer and Shannon Whitlock) and the whole team, we are building QPerfect.

This recognition belongs first of all to the team. We work to bring quantum software out of the lab and into the hands of researchers and industry, now alongside BTQ. Being part of the Choiseul community is a real encouragement to continue our work in Alsace, and to keep contributing to it.

Thank you to the Institut Choiseul and the Collectivité européenne d’Alsace, and to everyone I will have the pleasure to meet among the laureates.

About the Institut Choiseul

The Institut Choiseul is an independent French think tank. It studies economic and strategic questions and brings decision-makers together around them. It is best known for its rankings, which identify young leaders who shape the economy, in France and beyond. The best known is the “Choiseul 100”, a list of the most promising economic leaders under the age of 40.

The Palmarès Choiseul Alsace

The Palmarès Choiseul Alsace is the regional version of this work. Now in its second edition, it lists 100 leaders under 40 who help shape the Alsace economy. It is created by the Institut Choiseul and co-organised with the Collectivité européenne d’Alsace, around the idea of an economy rooted in its territory and seen through the people who drive it.

The laureates come from a wide range of sectors, including industry, digital technology, logistics, health, energy and culture. The selection looks at experience, contribution to the regional economy, and commitment to the territory and the environment.

The 2026 ranking was published in the Dernières Nouvelles d’Alsace and is available on the Institut Choiseul website.
