Marie Perruchet is a journalist, a marketing expert and the author of "One Perfect Pitch, how to sell your idea, your product, your business or yourself" at McGraw-Hill. A "child of the world", she was born in South Korea, was adopted to French parents, worked in Europe, in India and in China as a political journalist for the BBC. In 2008, inspired by the campaign of President Obama, she moved to the US to follow her passion for storytelling. She reinvented her career in Silicon Valley, first freelancing as a videographer for technology companies, then moved to the startup world as a pitch coach for startup incubators such as 500 startups. Realizing that nailing your pitch was fundamental to the success of all, she created a universal method for engineers, marketers and product managers to tell their story and pitch it effectively. She now advises businesses on their best storytelling strategies through brand engagement seminars and marketing programs.
