Back to original languageAbout Dorothée
Is your product development struggling?
Delays, errors, endless approvals, siloed teams….
Are your teams no longer able to keep up the pace?
Launches, rework, emergencies… no one can see clearly anymore.
What if the real problem wasn’t your product strategy, nor your teams, but simply the difficulty in executing the planned roadmap?
What if your product development organization was holding you back?
I help cosmetic and nutraceutical brands find the organization that will enable them to execute their product roadmap with rigor, fluidity, and impact.
To move faster from idea to finished product — without sacrificing quality, margins, or team motivation.
My role: to build solid bridges between marketing vision and development reality.
After 12 years in groups like L’Occitane, I’ve seen what distinguishes a team that reacts… from an organization that anticipates, adapts, and executes fluidly.
For 4 years, I’ve been sharing these methods with product teams, adapting them to their on-the-ground reality.
I help to:
✅ Streamline coordination between project teams (Marketing, R&D, Packaging, Supply)
→ Clarified roles, reduced silos = accelerated decisions, respected margins
✅ Align product execution with your strategic priorities
→ Rigorous monitoring, fluid communication, clear KPIs, better workload distribution, facilitated innovation
✅ Meet your deadlines and ensure reliable launches
→ +30% of projects delivered on time for my clients.
🤝 I intervene around 3 pillars:
🔹 Structuring product development processes
🔹 Executive management of the product roadmap
🔹 Training / Coaching of project leaders
🤝 Complementary services:
✔️ Transition management
✔️ Support for complex projects (rebranding, regulatory compliance…)
✔️ Management tools: custom implementation
✔️ Support for PLM implementation (BPO)
