Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Benoit
I hold a PhD in Biology with over 15 years of experience in academic, industrial research, and entrepreneurship, in France and the United States.
Coming from fundamental research, I then supported and managed research and development projects in various contexts: biotechnology, algae, bio-based materials, from the upstream phase to industrial applications and valorization.
Today, I act as an R&D consultant for companies, startups, and organizations developing projects with a strong scientific component.
My role is to support R&D to help teams and leaders to:
• structure and clarify their research projects,
• prioritize scientific and technological axes,
• identify and secure critical scientific bottlenecks,
• facilitate decision-making on complex subjects,
• strengthen the scientific credibility of projects.
Innovative projects rarely fail due to a lack of ideas. They most often fail due to a lack of R&D structuring and management.
I bring senior, independent, and pragmatic scientific expertise, adapted to business constraints, to transform R&D into a true value creation lever.
