Speaker of the day: Marie Martinod — Well-being at work

Marie Martinod, Olympic half-pipe silver medalist, was born in Bourg Saint-Maurice, France. From a family passionate about winter sports, she started skiing at the age of 2 and a half. She began mogul skiing and acrobatic jumping at the traditional Club des sports from the age of 9. She was then taken under the wing of the Dynastar team and, at 16, began competing in international freestyle contests. Considered a boy's sport at the time, Marie Martinod nevertheless managed to find her place thanks to her motivation and won several contests over several years.

For personal development reasons, she ended her career at 23 to start a family.

In 2011/2012, she returned to half-pipe, which made its first appearance at the Sochi 2014 Olympics.

In 2013, she won the X Games then became an Olympic silver medalist in 2014. Between 2014 and 2015, for health reasons, she took a white season. 2016 became the year of her return to the podiums with two podiums in three World Cup events.

Today, she is the veteran of the Half Pipe World Cup circuit, but also an accomplished mother and wife.Language spoken by the speaker

Marie Martinod hosts your conferences throughout French-speaking Switzerland, in Geneva or Lausanne, and in French-speaking countries. Marie Martinod, an Olympic freestyle and half-pipe athlete, will be pleased to give a conference in Switzerland on her professional journey combined with her role as a wife and mother of a little girl.

But Marie Martinod's secret is positivism! In fact, she has always known how to take on challenges to propel her career to the top. She met the challenges from the beginning, by winning in a sport considered "masculine", then by returning to the circuit after a 6-season break, and finally in 2017, by having the best season of her life without sponsors!!!

Thanks to her positivism, her determination, as well as the support of her family, she has become globally known and offers to share this energy with you in your company.2017:
