February 5, 2025
Interview of Delphine Jouanin.
I’m Chief Operating Officer (COO) at LAFAYETTE DMC.
- What I like about my job?
Every single day is a new and different one, a white page. There is absolutely no routine in my job; every day comes with its challenges, new clients to meet and convince to come and organize their event in France. I love being out of my comfort zone!
Every country on earth has jewels to discover but convince a client that your country is the perfect place for his event rather than another is an everyday team challenge, that I love.
- How I got into the profession?
I fell, by accident, in the DMC industry in Tunisia when I was 25 years old while I planned to become an interpreter in French and Arabic. It was my first job, I just loved it and since then I didn’t stop working for DMCs, all over the world in Middle East, Central America, then Europe and France.
- What I wanted to do as a job when I was a kid?
I practiced for many years classical dance and I dreamt of being a ballerina.
- What is my passion, my hobby?
I have 2 daily routing: walking and reading. Aside this, I love travelling the world, hiking and diving. I am also a big fan of any DIY.
- Fun fact about myself ?
I don’t look like a funny girl but I am definitely one. Laughing and singing a lousy song, every day, are a must!
