His training was quite classical: Sciences Po,[2] ESSEC class 1993,[3] ENA (class Averroès (1998-2000), like Fleur Pellerin, and Audrey Azoulay.[4]

When Emmanuel Macron resigned in 2016 to establish En marche !, Kohler returned to a position in the private sector as chief financial officer of MSC Cruises, the world's second largest ocean freight company.[7] At the request of his employer, he settled in Grenoble, then Geneva, but continued to work remotely for Emmanuel Macron, by mails and WhatsApp loops. When the 2017 présidential campaign started, he was a central figure in the headquarters of En marche ![5][8]
