After a Bachelor’s degree in Chinese at SOAS and a period in the French Navy, Laurent has spent seven years in China as a director of commercial enterprises before joining BRS in Paris in 2000. Two years later he moved across to BRS Asia, working as a shipbroker for over 13 years and eventually becoming China Director.
It is fantastic to be able to combine my personal passion for sailing with my commercial and financial background in shipping to lead YPI through this exciting new phase of development.
