Antoine is our head of the Global Challenges and SDGs team since August 2021. He is a specialist in the provision of trade-related technical assistance to developing countries and his work at the IEEP now focuses on the greening of the EU’s trade policy and the coherence of the EU’s internal and external policies related to trade and sustainable development. Antoine holds a MA in European Politics from the Institute of Political Studies of Rennes. He is a native speaker of French and fluent in English. He also speaks Spanish and Italian.
