FULL BIO
Claire is a professional from the tourism industry in which she obtained a diploma in Catering & Hotel Trade management in 2004 from the Tourism School Paul Augier, Nice (France). After 3 years of diverse professional experiences along the French Riviera & Monaco, she took the challenge of pursuing her career in the UK.
Over the past 4 years abroad, she enhanced herself gaining a First class degree in International Business Strategy through a 2 years accelerated track at the Cambridge Ashcroft Business School (2010); meanwhile growing within an internet based company, Booking.com.
Her main areas of interest are centred around environmental strategy and sustainable marketing in which she had the opportunity to broaden her expertise via an internship at the UNEP-WCMC focusing on consultancy reports and publications based on the business case for biodiversity.
She is now holding a position in the UK sales team of Booking.com, as well as Director of Operations at the Cambridge University Technology and Enterprise Club. However her strong aspirations are to emphasis her work on sustainable corporate strategies and sharpen her entrepreneurial skills via an MBA course for the forthcoming year.
