He became the vice-chair of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Neuroscience and Behavior, the founding of the Global Shapers hub in Marseille. He sits on several boards of NGOs and companies and is the chairman of Global Dignity for France.[2].
Oullier has more than 15 years of experience as a strategist advising global companies and executives in healthcare, PR, communication & consumer industries.[3]
“In France, the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum held in Davos is too often mistakenly perceived as the place where world leaders secretly decide our future. For a lot of people in my country, Davos seems to embody the “evil capitalists”. This is particularly true in French academia. So much so that, when I was applying for my full professorship, I was strongly advised to hide that the Forum made me a Young Global Leader a couple of months earlier. In many countries this honor would have helped me get the job. Not in France.”
