Marie Despature - Member of the Board managerial
Who the hell are you?
Mother of 2 young children, I am one of those women who juggle between professional and personal life while trying not to feel too guilty! My recipe? Lots of energy, good organization and optimism.
Why did you join the foundation?
My grandfather founded Damart with his brothers in 1953. In other words, like Obelix, I fell into it at birth. So I have a very strong personal attachment to Damart and great pride in what the company has become 60 years later. Every day, Damart's employees strive to improve the well-being of seniors. The foundation was the logical continuation of the story and I am lucky to be part of this great adventure. Like many, I aspire to give more meaning to my life and this was the perfect opportunity.
How do you see your role?
The profiles of the members of the Board of Directors are all different. The idea is to use our experience to advise, challenge and accompany the foundation's teams. Our exchanges are rich, productive and caring. To have an outside view of the company and the foundation is, in my opinion, very constructive.
What ambitions do you have for the foundation?
The foundation has all the necessary legitimacy to become a reference in the world of senior citizens. In addition to the many projects to support associations already in place, I am convinced that the foundation will offer many services in a few years time and contribute to changing mentalities about seniors.
