I'm working towards a world in which business leaves more value than it takes, and puts positive impact before profit, in service of a just and liveable future for all. I work as an independent marketing consultant, organisation designer and change facilitator for leaders of social value, sustainable and impact-led organisations. I bring 25 years of real-world business experience, coupled with a profound understanding and authentic commitment to addressing the change that’s needed to secure a thriving future for life on Earth. I'm exploring the potential of marketing to play a key role in the transition to a regenerative future. What if collectively, as marketers, we could transform our industry into a fairer, kinder, more ethical and responsible place, which encourages sustainable behaviour change and nurtures well-being?

I am a curator of partnerships with international platforms and global networks specialised in access to innovative thinking and making connections for the benefit of business, investments and philanthropy leaders. In June 2021 I did a Foundation of Doughnut Economivs course online with Kate Raworth as faculty and it prompted me to quit my income from an industrial linear economy big corporate and start to reskill myself as a independent consultant for mindful and well designed business models for the 21st century #circulareconomy #degrowth with a personal motivation on ocean pollution #plasticwasteaction

After 20+ years in corporate strategy consulting and the tech business, I progressively switched my mindset and practices to supporting organizations in their transformational journey towards eco-social-compatible models. 🍩🌍 I am very inspired by the Doughnut Economics concepts and theory and as an action-oriented person pushing for transformative change, I enjoy guiding organizations through their journey to embrace regenerative and distributive dynamics, thanks to the powerful tools developed by the DEAL. I am an experienced facilitator and trainer of several Fresks (playful, collaborative, and creative workshops that raises awareness on several environmental and social issues) such as The Climate Fresk, The Planetary Boundaries Fresk, The Regenerative Economy Fresk, The Agri-Food Fresk, The Digital Fresk …  I am engaged in several local initiatives around regenerative economy in my local area (French Riviera in South of France) to bring these concepts and theory into practice, via experimentation at community level.   I am delighted to join this rich and inspiring community to engage in meaningful conversations, learn from you and share insights and practices.
