#FemmesdelaFrenchTech #WomenInFrenchTech La Mission French Tech et son réseau des Capitales et Communautés French Tech se mobilisent pour mettre en lumière les femmes qui, partout en France et dans le monde, font la French Tech. Parce qu’on ne les voit pas encore assez, et qu’on a besoin de plus les voir pour que d’autres les rejoignent, nous donnons la parole à celles qui sont déjà des piliers de la French Tech. ?? Zoom sur : Christine de Wendel, Fondatrice & CEO de sunday https://lnkd.in/drStg9TW What triggered your interest in French Tech? I've always been very proud of the French tech scene. My background has been shaped by meeting incredibly valuable people, founders, and many professionals with an entrepreneurial mindset. Seeing them come together in a positive initiative like French Tech is incredibly exciting! ?? The thing you're most proud of? As a French-American ???????? who grew up in the US and has lived in France for 20 years, I’m very proud of how I've made my mark among innovative French companies. Joining ManoMano and contributing to its growth until it reached unicorn status is more than just a source of pride—it's a massive achievement for France, the team, and myself ??. Your wildest career goal? Being part of this vibrant scene inspired me to become an entrepreneur myself and co-found Sunday with my co-founder, Victor Lugger. I’ve always admired entrepreneurs, and it took me a while to realize that I was capable of becoming one myself ??. If you could go back in time, is there anything you would do differently? I'm not sure I would do things differently, but I do know that I want to change things for the next generation. Even someone with my background needed 20 years to allow myself to become an entrepreneur. I want to help change this, by encouraging everyone to believe they can do it, regardless of their gender, race, or background ??.
