Pulis is a major figure in the communications landscape, having worked to launch blockbuster perfumes like Sauvage, the world’s best-selling juice, during a 16-year tenure at Parfums Christian Dior.

Pulis is also founder of “Nouvelles Vagues”, a film festival in the French resort town of Biarritz.
