The story behind Kidpreneur.
Marie Barbezieux Rousselle is the founder of Kidpreneur — and the story starts at home. When her 10-year-old daughter declared she absolutely wanted to start a business and make money, Marie enrolled her in an online entrepreneurship class for kids. She loved it so much that Marie decided to bring it to life inside schools, in French and English.
Marie brings over 13 years of professional experience spanning corporate business development, digital marketing, and education — including roles at Orange Advertising and international consulting firms in France and the US. A certified professional coach (ICF-PCC) with a Master's in Human Resources from Audencia Business School and a Bachelor's in Business Law from Université Paris II Assas, she combines real-world business expertise with a proven ability to design and deliver structured, curriculum-based programs.
She has been a coach at the Lycée Français de New York's Start-up Day since 2019, teaching after-school programs there since 2022, and has reached 200+ students across 5+ private schools since 2021.
