Most people are surprised when they hear I went from professional football to green chemistry.
But to me, it was a natural transition. ⚽️👨🏽🔬
Growing up in the south of France, I was surrounded by nature and the sea from an early age. As my football career progressed, so did my awareness of global warming and the impact that different industries have on the environment and on our health.
The products most of us use every day, from shampoos to cleaning products to paints, are still built on fossil-based ingredients. Changing that became my mission.🌱
In 2013, I co-founded GFBiochemicals to make everyday products safer and more sustainable using plant-based ingredients.
Football prepared me for this journey more than I expected the discipline, the resilience, and what it truly means to be part of a team. But there is an important shift: as a player, you’re judged on your own performance. As a founder & CEO, your role is to lead and inspire your team, and to share success together.
I spoke with Harvard Business Review France about my journey: the transition from international footballer to Green Chemistry entrepreneur, the challenge of building in a sector I came to as an outsider.

NEW: British soldiers are being exposed for fathering children in Kenya and leaving them behind, thanks to commercial DNA databases.
Children, many with lighter skin color, born near a British military base in Kenya, are now receiving answers about their fathers.
"Nothing like this has ever been done before, where you're engaging DNA testing on such a scale" in the UK courts, said UK lawyer James Netto, according to BBC.
There are currently about 100 documented cases of children being born near the British Army Training Unit in Kenya to British soldiers, but Netto believes there are many more.
If a case is confirmed, the children will be able to register for British citizenship in most cases. Children under 18 will be eligible for child support.
"What next?"
Archbishop Andrew Nkea Fuanya, President of the National Episcopal Conference of Cameroon, reflects on the importance of Pope Leo's visit, but he says what is even more significant is what happens next and what the people do in light of the papal journey.
I am very grateful to the people of #Cameroon for your welcome and for the moments of joy and faith which we have experienced together. Let us keep the memory of these beautiful moments alive in our hearts. Even in the midst of difficulties, let us continue to make space for Jesus, allowing Him to enlighten and renew us every day by His presence. #ApostolicJourney

In a land soaked with blood of Cameroonians, Pope Leo tells the peace meeting in Bamenda Cathedral:
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often a lifetime is not enough to rebuild."
"They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found. Those who rob your land of its resources generally invest much of the profit in weapons, thus perpetuating an endless cycle of destabilization and death. It is a world turned upside down, an exploitation of God’s creation that must be denounced and rejected by every honest conscience."
The pope appealed: "We do not choose our brothers and sisters: we simply must accept one another! We are one family, inhabiting the same home: this wonderful planet that ancient cultures have cared for over millennia."
He also stressed interreligious character of peacebuilding efforts in the separatist region:
"As one of you observed, the crisis impacting these regions of Cameroon has brought Christian and Muslim communities closer than ever before. Indeed, your religious leaders have come together to establish a Movement for Peace, through which they seek to mediate between the opposing sides. I wish this would happen in so many other places on earth! Blessed are the peacemakers! But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. Yes, dear brothers and sisters, you who hunger and thirst for justice, who are poor, merciful, meek, and pure of heart, who have wept — you are the light of the world! (cf. Mt 5:3-14)."
