Partner, McKinsey & Co. | Former CEO - Retail, Fashion, Footwear and Luxury | Top Women in US Retail 2020

On this 4th of July, independence Day here in the US I am proud to announce that I became American a few weeks ago. 🇺🇸 There are many things we dont get to choose among which where we are born, becoming American was the dream of my life for some reason… I love this country. It isn’t perfect, but here I feel everything is possible and the general mindset is 100% aligned with who I am. Dream big, work hard and eventually the rest will follow ! Warm thanks to the Lacoste family 🐊 who trusted me and sent me here on a “temporary” rescue mission 9 years ago and to my family who supported me along the way. Thinking of my late father who i am sure is cheering from where he is..

Hello Joelle, Quelle magnifique nouvelle et comme je comprends ton enthousiasme d’avoir obtenue cette nationalité ! Je suis véritablement très heureux pour toi. Une preuve de plus que l’on a toujours ce que l’on mérite ! J’ai pensé à toi il y a environ un mois lorsque j’ai fait un A / R express entre Lyon et Phoenix pour aller voir la finale NCAA de Basket, malheureusement je n’ai pas fait de stop à NY! Bonne continuation Bises Gilles

Joelle, what a major milestone. Congratulations! As these have not been the most easy times for the USA, it’s inspirational to read your post. May this country continue to meet your expectations and fulfill your dreams. Happy 4th of July🇺🇸
