His latest job positions have been Head of Human Resources for International AIDS Society, Secretary General of International Social Service and General Director of Médecins sans Frontières Switzerland.
Prior job experiences in the field in Africa, Asia, Central America and Eastern Europe helped him mature a solid knowledge of international challenges and the capacity to manage and understand humanitarian crises.
Vincent graduated in Geophysics at IFP School of Paris. He started his career as a Geophysicist for Elf Aquitaine (now Total).
