Her advice to women who want to be entrepreneurs: "With the web, we are witnessing a redistribution of the cards. I would never have succeeded if I had had to go to a banker and set up a traditional business! Believe it or not, I had 0 experience in digital... So I did not follow any model. Sometimes expertise is the enemy of innovation: don't be afraid to be naive."
