Background

About Nicolas Lahuna

Originally from Paris, I grew up in Sweden and the United States until high school, then returned to France for higher education. Finding the French educational system somewhat “old school” and missing speaking English, I chose the American Business School of Paris. This choice allowed me to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and a French ‘niveau 7’ in International Management, gaining diplomas recognized in both the U.S. and France, key to pursuing opportunities in both countries, especially as a fluent English speaker eligible to work in the U.S. After graduating, I joined Upperkey, a PropTech company in property management. Starting in a small team, I had the invaluable opportunity to learn hands-on skills often untaught in school such as negotiation, sales, management, and taking initiative in high-pressure situations. Now part of a larger team and scaling operations, I continue to expand my skills in logistics and growth management, learning directly from talented entrepreneurs. This experience is incredibly rewarding as I aspire to one day start my own business.
