About Clara

Innovation and CSR are at the heart of your company's strategy, but you don't have the expert resources internally? The solution: a part-time innovation manager. Integrated into the company's work for a true understanding of its challenges and with a fresh perspective to help your company develop its sustainable innovation dynamic.

Innovation expert with over 15 years of experience in the field. I have worked with all types of companies: from large groups to startups, including technical centers and laboratories.
And CSR in all of this? I have been working on circular economy innovation projects for 10 years.

I am convinced that innovation is the best way to proactively and profitably address societal and environmental challenges. Moreover, thinking about innovation without considering its impacts no longer seems like an option today.

Opt for sustainable part-time innovation!
