Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Alexis
I help SMEs structure, refine, or redefine their innovation strategy.
In a world where uncertainties and supply chain disruptions are intensifying (raw materials, energy, etc.), it's not always easy for a company to navigate. On the other hand, regulations and expectations are tightening regarding sustainable development (ESG).
I analyze the innovation and sustainability practices of SMEs to help them create synergy, leading to business growth while fostering team engagement (reducing turnover).
I have spent almost 10 years supporting over 300 innovative SMEs across all sectors in their innovation efforts (management, marketing, financing), and have thus been able to study what practices work.
I use tools like Design Thinking, Lean Startup, SWOT matrices, and positioning. I am proficient in public innovation financing schemes and change management support to engage and motivate teams in this transition.
As each project is unique, my support is tailor-made, so feel free to contact me to discuss your needs!
