Le Studio

After a preparatory class in Marseille, I joined Toulouse Business School, obtaining a Master in Strategy and Innovation Management. My academic and professional career has always been focused on sustainable development, guiding my choices and projects, including my thesis on the restoration of natural ecosystems and businesses.

Today, at Agrilife Studio, I logically continue my commitment. Curious and eager to have a positive impact, I am investing in a company dedicated to sustainable development.

After advising investment funds as a consultant on regulatory sustainability issues and supporting them in shaping their investment strategies as well as conducting due diligence, I chose to leverage my expertise to serve the startups of tomorrow. My goal is to help them decode investor expectations while guiding them in structuring and maximizing their impact.

With 15 years of experience in acquisition and LBO financing, I spent 10 years as CFO supporting innovative companies that are changing the game by developing concrete solutions to sustainability challenges.

Innovation and entrepreneurship, in the service of impact, are my main drivers.

A graduate in International Corporate Finance from EDHEC and in Sustainable Development and Organizations from Paris Dauphine University, with a focus on Responsible Finance, I teach this discipline at SKEMA Business School.

With a Master's degree in Management and International Trade in Toulouse and Brussels, I joined Agrilife Studio with the aim of contributing to the agricultural transition. After a first experience in CSR, I want to go beyond the awareness stage and be in impact and innovation.

Through my position as Market Analyst, I deepen my knowledge of agriculture by working with our colleagues on future solutions for the agricultural sector. I study the national and international market by learning about the latest innovations in order to better support our project leaders in the development of adapted and sustainable strategies.

A graduate engineer in biotechnology, I completed my training with a specialized master's degree in Innovation Management in agro-activities and bio-industries at AgroParisTech and Neoma Business School. After an experience in a deeptech start-up specializing in precision fermentation, I joined Agrilife Studio as an apprentice in Sourcing and Innovation.

My role is to be the privileged contact for research laboratories, with the mission of meeting researchers and identifying innovations aligned with the challenges of Agrilife Studio.

As an agronomist by training, my career has been shaped by a focus on food, digital technology, and innovation.

After several years in agri-food R&D, my passion for innovation and business led me to marketing roles, both in France and internationally. I then worked with the leaders of major French retailers, supporting their digital transformation at Google.

Driven by a desire to contribute to the food transition, I became a mentor, coach, and business angel for impact-driven startups. Supporting change, fostering innovation, and valuing people have always been my core motivations.

Today, as an Operating Partner at AgriLife, I bring my strategic and operational expertise with a focus on the food and bio-based sectors.

Entrepreneur in Fintech, Director of impact business activities in emerging countries for the Air Liquide Group, then Investment Director in Corporate Venture.

An agricultural engineer with over 15 years of experience, I am an independent Partner, Agri Expert for AgriLife Studio.
Creator and Director of Explicite Conseil, I support innovative startups and SMEs engaged in the agroecological transition to clarify, express and deploy their strategy. I support and challenge business and institution leaders to help them detect, qualify and reveal useful innovation, by connecting to the field and drawing inspiration from the economy of functionality and cooperation to think of sustainable economic models.
The pillars of my professional career are economic development through innovation and the animation of ecosystems: first within the InVivo group with the general management and the strategic marketing and innovation management, then within Agrosolutions, an agronomy and environmental consulting firm, before joining the Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation competitiveness cluster.
