Various operational positions in the industrial sector allowed him to acquire and develop his skills, during the Merger and Acquisition and subsequent restructuring process within a large agricultural grains group, during the management of a joint venture at international level, and during the various training sessions with Pharmacy graduates.

At the same time, Marc-Henri volunteers in various charitable associations supporting those with disability.
