About Anna

I help product, marketing, and leadership teams go beyond research reports to transform user insights into strategic decisions about positioning, roadmap, and organizational choices. With 15 years of experience in user research, product management, and brand strategy (Dashlane, Getaround), I combine methodological rigor with strategic acumen to ensure research truly lands.
Bilingual French/English (native), I work with organizations that want to make "user-centricity" work under complex conditions.

Examples of engagements:

Strategic Research Projectanalyze a complex problem, frame research needs, conduct the study and its analysis, recommendations & workshop to activate them

Existing Insights → Strategyleverage your existing research to identify latent levers and how to fill gaps effectively

Strategic Workshop Facilitationhalf-day or full-day to unblock collective decision-making: product vision, positioning, "now what?" after a research phase

Research Skill-Buildingcoach designers or PMs on a real project so they leave autonomous and confident in gathering and interpreting insights

Establishing a Research Practiceequip a design or product team, or support a junior solo researcher: methodology, templates, coaching (including recommendations for using AI)
