My name is Valérie M. Saintot. I am a lawyer (since 1994), doctoral supervisor (since 2022) with Gloucestershire University, adjunct professor (since 2021) with SKEMA business school, visiting lecturer at Bucerius Law School (since 2020) and Karlstad Business School (since 2023). I am also a certified mindfulness teacher (since 2005) and initiator of a mediation room at work (mindulness at work). I am an active member and ambassador for human-centric AI with the Liquid Legal Institute. I am member of a task force on AI in higher education with Z-Inspection. My studies and professional experience is at the crossroad of law, economics (20+ years as European central banker). At present I work on projecting the Doughnut Economics into Doughnut Law and Doughnut AI as the relation between human-artificial intelligence appear to me key to conceptualise. I build on analytical frameworks offered by mindfulness, neuropsychology, and philosophy. One side focus is my care to promote that citizens are informed and heard in relation to AI. I have developped with some peers a coaching format building on the Inner Development Goals to help promote the vision that the inner conditions of the leaders is key their decisions and societal impact.

The DEAL Community's commitment to approaches in economics that deliver sustainable benefits to society fuels my desire to be a part of this movement.  I am a law graduate with previous experience in accounting and finance, law, and technology. Topics I am particularly interested in include
