Sylvain PETIT

Executive Secretary, Small Islands Organisation (SMILO)

Sylvain holds Masters' degrees in Economics and Geography. After working in the fields of tourism, coastal planning, and nature conservation, Sylvain is now mostly dedicated to small islands. While he officially joined the SMILO team in June 2019 as Executive Secretary, he was part of the initiative from the very beginning, working as a facilitator and member of the Board of Directors. Franco-Croatian, he previously lived on the Adriatic coast for 7 years, in the city of Split, where he was responsible for ICZM & MSP projects and initiatives implementation with the UN Environment Mediterranean Action Program (PAP/RAC). Sylvain quickly fell in love with Croatian islands. From the island of Vancouver to Crete via Sardinia, he is a convinced and passionate islander!
