He founded the Curiosity Company and is the Fjällräven sponsored explorer for Africa, and a member of The Explorers Club, based in New York City.

Francois is very passionate about using the ancient art of tracking wild animals on foot to help young explorers better understand the principles and fundamentals of curiosity – which in turn helps them tackle their their own unique process of self and career exploration in a fast changing world of work – where solving complex environmental problems is the future of the world of work.
