I discovered TYPO3 in 2005 while building my first websites, and it has remained at the center of my professional and community journey ever since. I co-founded a TYPO3 agency in France in 2008, became head of the French TYPO3 committee in 2016, founded the TYPO3 UX team, and joined the TYPO3 Board in 2020.
Over the years, I have been working across a wide range of Board responsibilities, including events, budgeting, General Assembly processes, governance processes, risk management, product strategy governance, and ethical compliance. This experience helped me to develop a broader understanding of the challenges and conditions needed for TYPO3 to remain strong, relevant, and resilient over time.
That is one of the reasons I asked last year for the creation of the Board responsibility for Diversity, Inclusion and International Development. I believe that only a truly diverse and international community can sustain a truly global open-source project, and that being global matters even more in today’s geopolitical context. I also helped to expand the Ethical & Legal Compliance scope so TYPO3 engages seriously with European digital regulation, especially the Cyber Resilience Act. For me, regulation should not just be endured as a burden, but approached as a responsibility and, where possible, turned into a strategic advantage.
What continues to drive me is helping TYPO3 remain trustworthy, well-governed, inclusive, and ready for the future.
I have always approached things in a positive way and focused on my mandate. What is rooted in my values and personal background is that serving on the Board means listening carefully, respecting different views, and acting with fairness and tolerance. Not every decision will make everyone happy, but what matters is the trust built by consistently seeking the best outcome for the common good. In difficult moments, when you have to move fast, people will go with you only if they respect you, not simply because they like you.
My goal for this term would be to consolidate the work already started on Diversity, Inclusion and International Development, continue preparing TYPO3 for European digital regulation such as the Cyber Resilience Act, and strengthen the conditions for trust, clarity, and responsible governance within the Association. I would also see this mandate as a time to support strong handovers and help prepare the ground for future Board members.
If re-elected, I would intend this to be my final term on the Board. By the end of it, I would have served for nine years, which I believe is enough to contribute meaningfully while also respecting the importance of renewal in a healthy Board. I remain fully motivated for the work ahead and would approach this mandate with the same energy and a strong focus on responsibility and continuity.
