Back to original languageAbout Geoffroy
Packaging expert with 18 years of hands-on industrial experience, I support SMEs and large groups in securing, structuring, and improving their packaging activities, from design to packaging, from product development to organizational transformation.
Transition Management | Project Management | Organizational Transformation.
In the cosmetic, parapharmaceutical, and detergent industries, certain situations are common: packaging project delays, difficult-to-secure launches, late-detected non-conformities, supplier cost overruns, or recurring quality issues. Behind these symptoms lie structural challenges that I address:
• Structuring and ensuring the reliability of packaging development processes
• Securing regulatory compliance (AGEC, PPWR, CRC, REACH, Reg. 1223/2009...)
• Pragmatic and measurable integration of CSR and eco-design
• Optimization of costs and supplier interfaces
• Resolution of complex quality issues (5M, 5P, technical audits)
• Transition management and operational packaging support
Formerly Head of Packaging Development at Groupe Rocher (2021-2025): managed 30 people, portfolio of 800 simultaneous projects, led CSR packaging transformation, value analysis, international projects (China, Russia, Turkey, Israel).
Based in Rennes, mobile throughout France.
Preferred sectors: Cosmetics · Parapharmacy · Detergents
Open to other industrial sectors with similar packaging challenges.
