Co-Founders: Once upon a time, four lady bosses were living far away from home, in a far far away land. As they were missing their dose of French/French speaking culture, they decided to join forces and help the artists come all the way out to California. This is how French Talent USA was born in 2022, ready to share and promote French & French speaking artists on the US West Coast.

Caroline Longuet
After starting her career in the world of finance, Caroline embarked on an expatriation journey in the year 2000 and had to reinvent herself. She became involved in volunteer work and dedicated herself to serving the French-speaking communities in the various countries where she lived in. As the President of Stockholm Accueil, she managed activities and events and developed the membership.
Passionate about French culture, she particularly enjoys music, theater, and cinema. Her love for event planning and her desire to promote French artists beyond borders naturally led her to join French Talent USA
After 20 years in sales administration in media and tech industries in France and in the United States, Christine joined French Talent USA to promote French and Francophone culture in California.
Curious, naturally organized, she loves comedy, theater, literature, humor, music and connecting with people who share the same interests.
Finding the French cultural offer in the US limited, she works on expanding it.
Photographer, former marketing professional and co-founder of MerciSF.com, the online magazine about All Things French/Francophone in the Bay Area, Sabrina loves to connect communities and people in cross-cultural projects.
A true believer in the power of transformation through art - dance, cinema, literature, music - promoting French / Francophone artists to the remote expat community & beyond is the impulse to co-create French Talent USA.
