Profile
Born in the Hauts-de-France area, Thomas Ruyant is a specialist in transatlantic races: he has won the Mini-Transat, the Route du Rhum twice, the Transat AG2R, as well as the Transat Jacques Vabre! Thomas is a sailor in the strictest sense of the term. He really comes into his sporting own offshore and over a long period of time. 2024 should be his 3rd Vendée Globe. In 2016, he heroically abandoned the round-the-world race aboard Souffle du Nord after suffering major damage off New Zealand, and finished the 2020 edition in 6th place after often sailing in the top 3. Thomas' motto is to give meaning to his performances, which he does with the vulnerability campaign.

Commitment
VULNERABLE is a campaign to change the way we look at the shared vulnerability of people and the planet. Its aim? To stop seeing vulnerability as a burden to be carried, but rather as limits to be accepted and a potential for creating value to be released.
Its ambition: to give a real place to the most vulnerable among us in order to humanise society.
Initiated by Alexandre Fayeulle, who placed it at the heart of Advens' purpose, it spread with Thomas Ruyant and Sam Goodchild who in turn embraced it... soon to be joined by players from all horizons...
