About Géraldine

Are you developing a third place, structuring a cultural and creative industries (ICC) sector, managing a cultural facility, or looking to integrate digital innovation into your strategy?

I can support you in the design, positioning, and implementation of structuring projects for the cultural and creative industries: cinema, audiovisual, video games, new media, digital arts, communication.

As Director of the PIXEL Hub (30,000 m² dedicated to professionals in moving images), I have spent over fifteen years working at the intersection of public policy, innovation, and creative ecosystems. My expertise lies in the creation and transformation of third places, fostering stakeholder networks, structuring industry sectors, and managing cultural projects with significant territorial impact.

What sets me apart:
  • A dual strategic and operational perspective (from vision to concrete implementation)
  • Proven experience in facility management and ecosystem development
  • Ability to connect public actors, entrepreneurs, creators, funders, and academic partners
I specialize in:
  • Opportunity and feasibility studies
  • Positioning strategies and business models
  • Creation and development of cultural and creative third places
  • Structuring of ICC sectors
  • Design of innovation, support, or training programs
  • Facilitation of consultations and partnership initiatives
  • Strategic advice for local authorities and institutions

A graduate of Sciences Po Grenoble (Master's in Cultural Project Management), I am a founding member of HACNUM and regularly act as an expert for local authorities and private organizations on issues related to digital technology, innovation, and the transformation of cultural policies.
