Elise Leclerc, Director of the Social and Environmental Impact Assessment Lab at ESSEC Business School

I have been heading the S&EIA Lab of the ESSEC Chair of Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship since 2018, after working abroad in research and social innovation for 20 years.
Prior to that I worked around social innovation in France, Ireland, the UK and Portugal and collaborated on a number of social impact assessment action research projects most notably over her 10 years in London where I trained as an SROI practitioner.
My European experience has enabled me to work for a wide range of social actors, from grassroots charities to philanthropic foundations to research institutions. I hold a Masters degree in European Affairs (2002) and an Agrégation Externe in English Linguistics (1999).
