About Olivier Pia

Olivier PIA is far from unknown in the world of communication today. His professional journey began in the late 1980s. To take his first steps, he chose the world of finance where he created and organized multiple events on behalf of Crédit Agricole de Lorraine.

After a stay in the USA, he enthusiastically returned to Metz (1991) where he worked as a journalist for 8 years. For the magazine Vivre à Metz, he was responsible for redesigning the layout and creating new sections.

A true literary jack-of-all-trades, writing on topics as diverse as economics, culture, social issues, sports, and the environment, Olivier PIA enjoys making the least understandable information accessible.

With hundreds of articles written, he continued his journey and in 2000 met journalist Yves Baron. Alongside him, he honed his skills in crisis communication, innovated in press relations, and discovered a new passion: moderating debates.

After a brief stint with the EDF group where he managed communication for a nuclear power plant, Olivier PIA decided in 2002 to leverage his experience for the benefit of businesses by creating his own company. He then provided the expertise of a senior communicator to companies in the sectors of industry, new technologies, environment, and also to local and regional authorities.

A former radio columnist, Olivier PIA now hosts throughout the year (150 events over the past 5 years!) numerous public debates, conferences, conventions, and round tables across France. Among his favorite topics are sustainable development, health, innovation and research, housing, industry, road safety, and social issues.

His specialty: hosting debates amidst the audience to bring extra dynamism and interactivity between the speakers on stage and the guests in the room. His motto: to give volume, musicality, and meaning to the exchanges.
