CEO ABF Ingredients
I have been considering for some time now to help innovative startups in France using my own field of expertise, to support AgroFood in its growth and development”: AgriLife Studio offers me the opportunity, as a “Mentor”, to exchange with entrepreneurs and share my experience with them, an experience built over several decades of general management in the field of specialty ingredients for the food industry, animal feed and pharma. And I am delighted to do so!
French Genopôle CEO
The food and agriculture sectors are essential and innovation is abundant, dense and often original. Supporting projects comes naturally to me because it is a continuation of research and higher education. In this context, the Agrilife Studio project is relevant and interesting, and if I can bring some of my experience to these projects, it will be with pleasure and determination.

Elior Group CSR Director
Giving a new life, a new light to sectorial and technical knowledge, the fruit of some 20 years of professional experience anchored in the real economy, succeeding in projecting them in the service of projects that are certainly innovative but first and foremost projects with impact: this is the promise of mentoring for the AgriLife Studio to which I am proud to respond. I hope to nourish these collective and pre-competitive contributions with the objective of accelerating and accompanying the transformation of our societies.
Innovation Assistant Director and InnLabs network Coordinator
As I have been very involved for a few years in supporting agri-agro start-ups, both on the technical and scientific side and on the business and strategic side, and aware of the challenges of improving the transfer of research projects to the creation of impact companies, it is quite natural that I accepted to be part of the AgriLife Studio mentors! The priority themes are in line with those of AgroParisTech and we therefore have a lot to gain by working together. Our network of InnLabs is also a natural outlet for the projects supported by AgriLife Studio.
Agro-Food Expert
Decades of experience in the food and biotechnology industry acquired in large companies (Danone, Kronenboug, etc…), a passion for developing the business, its impact and its people, led Eric to embrace the various functions of the Value Chain: R&D, Industrial, Purchasing, Supply Chain, Route to Market, Commercial, Business Development & General Management. For the last 15 years, his focus has been on emerging countries (Africa, Middle East, Asia). He dedicated himself, among other things, to the development of Social Business and Impact through Grameen-Danone in Bangladesh and, for the last 3 years, by founding IPA Business Partner (Impact People & Food): he brings an operational and pragmatic support to different organizations (Start-ups to ETI’s) by reconciling Business Development and Impact on the following axes Growth Strategy, P&O, Operations & RTM. He strongly links the performance of the Company to the development of the Men & Women who compose it as well as to the sense of societal impact.
Why do you mentor Agrilife Studio start-ups?
My multifunctional and multicultural experience in the world of agri-food and biotechnology allows me to put into practice my convictions about the importance of impact for tomorrow’s world: nutritional, social or environmental.
AgriLife’s start-ups have this DNA of innovation with impact and added value.
Contributing through my/our mentoring to their development and success is a pleasure and almost a duty to better prepare the future.
It is also an incomparable human experience where trust and transparency become essential drivers of collective success and business.
