He has been a long-time member of the French civil service. His most prominent positions previous to his appointment in Monaco included serving as Prefect of Guadeloupe from November 1989 to July 1991 and as the chief of police of Paris from 2001 to 6 December 2004.

Being Minister of State, a post equivalent to Prime Minister, he also had the honor of administering Prince Albert II his oath of office as Sovereign Prince of Monaco.
