Professional background
A graduate of SciencesPo Paris in International Development, Priyen has dual roots in French and Malaysian culture. After living in Myanmar, the Philippines and Malaysia with his family, he enrolled at the Europe-Asia campus of SciencePo Paris. During his university curriculum, he also studied Economics in the UK for a year, and worked on development aid and refugee integration projects in Asia.
After a year of human formation, Priyen joined the medical-social sector to work at L’Arche. He lived and worked in care homes for 2 years, accompanying persons with disabilities and managing a diverse team with a wide scope of profiles. This atypical professional experience enabled him to develop his adaptability, empathy and ability to unite his team around a demanding goal.
His desire for meaningful professional impact naturally led him to Turningpoint. Today, as Project Manager, Priyen gives the best of himself, surrounded by a team combining professionalism and goodwill, striving to make a positive impact.
