FULL BIO
After working for the French government's agency for foreign direct investment out of San Francisco (mainly with fast-growing start-ups), I moved to Paris where I am currently the Editor of TechCrunch France, working in social media strategy for a local start-up and a graduate student. I'm an epilepsy advocate and a wannabe artist (and entrepreneur, obviously).
Feel free to connect via Linkedin, Twitter (@roxannevarza) or my blog TechBaguette.com as I am less frequently on YouNoodle.
