01 · THE STORY

From a family firm to a group

Maison Amiel was founded by my great-great-grandfather in 1946. I came back to Toulouse to run it, rebuilt it, found it an investor, and brought it into Groupe Somouest, where I now design and build the tools the whole company runs on.

  1. 2017–2024

    Running Maison Amiel

    Managing director, products & sales. Renewed the whole collection, the catalogue and the communication, and took the company digital.

  2. 2024

    Finding a buyer

    Found an investor-buyer for the company and led its integration into Groupe Somouest. Amiel is no more. Long live Somouest.

  3. 2024–2026

    Building the group’s tools

    Head of Marketing, IT & Graphic Design, then Information Systems Manager: I design the interfaces and ship the code behind them.

190+features shipped in 7 weeks

300+screens designed & built
