Child of French expatriates, Pom Madendjian spent 18 years abroad before returning to France to study political sciences, communication and marketing. She worked for nearly ten years in media and advertising, before changing her life and career direction.

Having become an expatriate again in 2013, this time as an adult, she had to — like many following spouses — learn to adapt and reinvent herself with each new mobility: Mexico, South Africa, Philippines, Vietnam and now Malaysia. She is currently Editor-in-Chief of La Gazette, the only French magazine in Malaysia, founder of the French Book Fair in KL — whose 2025 edition was supported by LHP — as well as a volunteer French-language guide at the National Museum of KL.

“I firmly believe that culture is not a luxury, but the foundation of a nation that knows itself, defends its values and its history. Malaysia's is exceptionally diverse and rich, and I trust it is essential to preserve its physical and intangible heritage. LHP's work is part of an exceptionally intelligent approach and long-term vision that we must support.”
