L'équipe derrière Ad Manaurem se présente en quelques mots. Who we are Didier Sourisseau Chairman, Founder Didier Sourisseau has spent his career in the packaging industry. Chairman of major international groups, he has successfully managed teams all over the world, particularly in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Africa. With his strong leadership skills, he has never ceased to defend excellence as a source of continuous improvement, and to encourage the development of young people and the transmission of knowledge. Throughout this intense life, his refuge has always been the Périgord and his family home "La Manaurie". A place of inspiration, it was here that he naturally created his patronage project for young people and for music, his other passion. He is keen to help this new generation of musicians by offering them a moment which, he hopes, will be the catalyst for their future success. Thierry de Beaumont-Beynac Vice-Chairman, Co-founder Thierry de Beaumont-Beynac spent his professional career as a bank and insurance company executive before helping to set up an artificial intelligence company serving insurance companies. At the same time, he was actively involved in charitable associations, notably the Order of Malta, where he was President for 20 years. Passionate about the Périgord region, where his family branch has been established for almost 450 years, he took over from his parents in the restoration of the family castle of La Marthonie in St. Jean-de-Côle, a village in whose church he helped to organise concerts for 30 years. Among the many international distinctions Thierry has received, he remains attached to those of Officier de la Légion d'Honneur and Officier des Arts et des Lettres. Bernadette Faroudja-Deveaux Secretary, Co-founder Bernadette Faroudja-Deveaux, Honorary Professor at the Bordeaux Academy, has devoted her life to the education of young people. A politician, she has contributed to the development of innovative early childhood programmes that have been taken up nationally by her party. She was recognised by her peers for her work and was awarded the Palmes Académiques. In her home town of Le Bouscat, she also put her commitment to Franco-German reconciliation to good use, with musical exchanges in particular that were to become a milestone and an example for other communities. Now retired to the Périgord region, she is involved in local life and is putting all her energy and experience at the service of Ad Manaurem. Bruno Baudoin Treasurer, Co-founder Bruno Baudoin is a specialist in the field of nutrition and health. After studying cell biology at university and training at ESSEC business school, he has spent his entire career in international sales and marketing with the world's leading vitamin companies. In France, he helped develop the concept of natural vitamins. He is an enthusiast of contemporary art, but also collects works from the 19th century. He is a member of the Association of Friends of Rosa Bonheur. A gourmet and connoisseur of Bordeaux wines, he likes to prepare dishes from the South-West (or from the French repertoire) to share with his family and friends. One day, he dreams of learning to play the piano. Priska Wallimann Design & Marketing, Co-founder As a skilled lithographer and infographic designer, Priska Wallimann works for a Swiss publishing house. She has consistently developed all areas of graphics and design for her group's newspapers and magazines throughout Europe.
