Philippine Janssens


Philippine Janssens
She is a dear friend of Remi's and attends the only other top business school in Paris called ESSEC. Now this young lady has a dad who owns a cafe that used to be Vincent Van Gogh's last house. Her mom has had her fabric/caftan business for the past 20 yrs catering to prestigious cliental in Europe, Africa and Asia. Philippine is 21 years old and she navigated Bangladesh like she had lived there for years. She would tell me of the shops and places that I had never heard of, striking the best deals with vendors, exploring the most best kept secrets of the city and trying any fruit that she could get her hands on. She connected with the children at the villages by taking pictures of them, showing THEM how to take pictures, and by distributing magic stashes of candy wherever she went.

These two interns drew large fan crowds wherever they traveled and were greeted with smiles and amazing hospitality from all the locals.

She is presently interning with a marketing company in Paris that creates marketing strategies for clients in the hospitality industry like hotels and resorts.
