Author.
Writing has always been my way of making sense of change.
After selling my company to Twitter, I felt a deep need to process what it really meant, not just financially, but emotionally and personally. That’s how EXIT was born: a book about identity, courage, and the silent questions that follow so-called success. I didn’t want to write another business manual; I wanted to tell the human story behind an acquisition, the part that rarely makes it into headlines. For me, being an author is about honesty, putting words on the doubts, the grief, and the reinvention that shape us far more than the milestones.
What does it take to build something from nothing—and then let it go?
Exit is the true story of my 1,219-day journey as a first-time founder, from the exhilarating highs of creating a tech startup to the bittersweet moment it was acquired by Twitter. It’s a story about risk, resilience, and redefining success on your own terms.
But EXIT is more than just a business book. It’s a deeply personal reflection on the challenges we face when chasing our dreams: the doubts that linger, the boldness required to push through barriers, and the sacrifices that come with trying to balance ambition, motherhood, and self-doubt in a world that often feels rigged against you.
Through my own underdog story, I share the unfiltered truths about:
-
Raising funds in a male-dominated venture capital world.
-
Navigating the complex, secretive process of startup exits.
-
Balancing the weight of leadership with the vulnerability of motherhood.
Whether you’re a founder, a dreamer, or simply someone navigating life’s pivotal moments, Exit offers an honest look at the courage it takes to leap—and the wisdom gained when it’s time to let go.
Available in France (and in English in 2026), EXIT is an invitation to rethink what it means to succeed, and how to define your own story in a world that loves to tell you no.
EXIT - the tour
With EXIT, I didn’t just want to publish a book, I wanted to start a conversation. That’s why I’m taking the book on tour: to meet founders, leaders, students, and anyone curious about the invisible side of success.
On stage, I share the journey behind EXIT, the highs of building and selling a company, and the quiet, more vulnerable truths that come after. Each event is a space for dialogue, where I invite audiences to reflect on their own definitions of success, failure, and reinvention. EXIT The Tour is not about celebrating an acquisition, but about reclaiming the human story that comes next.
With the EXIT Tour, we traveled to a dozen venues to speak truthfully and exchange about the real side of the entrepreneurial world.
EXIT - What the readers say
Since the release of EXIT, I’ve been deeply touched by the feedback I’ve received, in person, in messages, and through reviews online. Readers have shared how the book gave them not only practical insights into the startup journey, but also the comfort of seeing its raw, unfiltered reality. Many told me it was the first time they felt someone had put into words the sleepless nights, the doubts, and the pressure behind the scenes. Others described it as a rollercoaster they couldn’t put down, or as a rare mix of honesty, humor, and useful lessons. Hearing these stories, whether in a DM or after a talk, has been the most rewarding part of writing EXIT. It reminds me that vulnerability resonates, and that sharing the messy truth can help others feel less alone in their own journey.
