Juliette Paturel, 27, from Rimouski: founder of the jewelry brand Fervido at 16, a Dragon's Den alum and Alexis's first choice in the OD Panamá villa.
Rimouski, age 16. While most teenagers are figuring out their first summer job, Juliette Paturel is launching a jewelry brand. Ten years later, Fervido has a Montreal boutique, an online store, pop-ups across Quebec, and its founder is walking into the most watched villa in the province. She arrived late in the season. She did not arrive quietly.
- 26 when she entered the villa, 27 since October 18, from Rimouski
- Founder of Fervido, the Quebec jewelry brand she launched in 2016
- Arrived in week 4 with Engie and Mathilde, now paired with Alexis
Who is Juliette from OD Panamá?
Crave describes a woman who creates opportunities instead of waiting for them: confident, strategic and competitive. Behind that assurance, the same profile describes a true romantic, looking for the right man rather than a fling. She is drawn to ambitious, intelligent and passionate men who can teach her something, and she would love someone to watch football with on Sundays.
Her résumé backs up the confidence. After social sciences at Cégep de Rimouski, she studied at HEC Montréal, where she earned a certificate in marketing management, then took entrepreneurship training through Harvard Business School Online, according to Narcity. She has been making jewelry since she was 8.
From Dans l'œil du dragon to the villa
This is not her first time in front of Quebec cameras. In May 2021, at 21, she pitched Fervido on Dans l'œil du dragon, asking for $40,000 in exchange for 12.5% of her company, Noovo Moi recalls. She left without a deal, kept building anyway, and the brand's Instagram now counts over 24,000 followers.
Off camera, Narcity paints a full life: surfing, pilates and the gym, a hike to Machu Picchu with her younger brother Caleb, and Romeo, her caramel-coated dog. Her personal Instagram had about 5,000 followers when the show started. It has passed 15,000 since.
