Meet with Xavier Bordedebat, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing at Lafayette DMC.

Interview of Xavier Bordedebat.

I’m Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing at Lafayette DMC.

• What I like about my job?

I love meeting people and introduce them with passion to our beautiful and diverse destination.

• How I got into the profession?

I fell into the tourism industry by chance while doing an internship to finance my law studies. The taste for service well done and the opportunity to share with people all the beauty that France has to offer confirmed my choice.

• What I wanted to do as a job when I was a kid?

I grew up in a small village next to Giverny (Monet’s House). Living in the country and surrounded by animals, I legitimately wanted to be a veterinarian. I guess something didn’t go right.

• Fun fact about myself ?

Last July, I was invited by Evian Resort to play the Amundi Evian Championship Pro-am and had a chance to partner with Gaby Lopez (from Mexico). Thanks to her, our team came third!
