Axelle Tessandier  did a Master in Audiovisual, Media Law and Communication at La Sorbonne in Paris, and was ready to become the next Endemol's Big boss... until she changed her mind. It's not what she wanted, she needed to do something way bigger.
After different experiences in media, TV, press and foremost cinema, she's now working on her own, on subjects matching her interests.

She among others did missions for Internews and the Earth Journalism Awards for United Nations Climate Change Conference Copenhagen 2009. Currently she's doing a mission for Kinomé based on Reforestation. She's a consultant on web communication and content strategy and if she can give a "social" dimension to it, it's even better.
To break it down on a more daily basis, she's passionate about politics. She thinks that being aged enough to have an opinion about what's going on around someone, having an impact, and a good one, on any social environment is something really important and necessary. The love for cinema was the reason she picked audiovisual as her field of studies. In the movies, she sees a source of sincere emotion, wild imagination, multisensorial sensation and most of all critical questioning. A source to question the world or rethink it.  On her more geeky side she basically drowns in the internet and its infinite possibility, groundbreaking development and the upcoming challenges for forthcoming generation. Her curiosity always brings her to new grounds. Planning is dying. Smiling is breathing. That simply nails it, according to Axelle.

Axelle thinks, Palomar5 will be the concrete expression of all she has dreamt to do until right now: to gather her personality, her few abilities and knowledges and enthusiasm in a very stimulating environment as the team chosen by Palomar5 finds itself in this incubation space to rethink and imagine new ways of working and by consequence living adequate to our generation and expectations to let it express all its potential.

To reach this goal, she first of all tries to be useful, as she feels lucky to be part of it. On a pragmatic way she wants to built the project, help to create a nice atmosphere with good energy, be useful to people sharing their lives during these 6 weeks. Useful to propose ideas, concrete solution to shape a working environment in which who you are is totally relevant with what you do. And the further she thinks about this whole concept, the more obsessed she gets. 'What I will do with pleasure, passion and with quality, for free?' Her answer will be her job.

She's a constant runner, ever in motion. Running, searching, digging, discovering, sometimes failing, sometimes winning, but always learning. For what purpose? That's the question and for god's sake, you'll probably never get the answer. Axelle agrees and is completely fine with that.
