Claude MICHY
"Competent coordinator » is the reply given by Claude Michy when asked about his profession"
Fond of mechanical sports, Claude Michy started his professional life in sweet production, then did a 180° turn and changed direction to combine passion and profession, an occupation that he hendles with enthusiasm from his native fief, l’Auvergne.
« Be within the movement » in the stadium, not in the grandstands, this is the ambition of this event logistician, a sort of organisational sportsman who says himself "he likes to be behind the scenes of big events".
Claude Michy, born in Clermont-Ferrand on 3rd april 1949, is married and father of two children
