Armelle Perben

Founder and CEO, Absolutely French

Expat spouse in 7 countries, Armelle Perben created Absolutely French in Paris in 2012, a French language school, integration center, and support hub dedicated to the well-being and professional development of accompanying spouses. She designed an innovative method to learn French by combining language immersion with cultural discovery, practical knowledge of the city, and historical insights through hands-on activities. She strongly advocates for the "learning by doing" approach, ensuring expatriates gain autonomy quickly. Absolutely French is a B2B service, partnering with international companies to facilitate the successful integration of expat partners and expatriates for over 10 years. As an expert in dual-career expatriate couples, Armelle Perben believes that every expat partner is a talent and deserves the opportunity to build their own professional or personal path—whether in family life, training, or employment. To support the careers of expatriate spouses, she launched Absolutely Talented in 2021—the first career fair in France connecting recruiters with highly skilled international talents. Building on this vision, in 2023, she created Absolutely Ahead, a career acceleration program dedicated to expat partners seeking job opportunities, professional coaching, and networking support in France. This initiative provides tailored career guidance, employer connections, and skill-building workshops, helping international spouses successfully navigate the French job market. Through these initiatives, Absolutely French, Absolutely Talented, and Absolutely Ahead contribute to better integration, career development, and empowerment for the international community in France.
