Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Strategy and open innovation consultant, based in Paris, with over 10 years of experience in industry and services.

Before going freelance, I worked at Bain & Company on growth strategy assignments, due diligence for private equity funds, and transformation projects for large corporations. I also spent several years leading projects focused on innovation and technological partnerships in industry, working with R&D, business, and corporate teams.

I hold a PhD in Management Sciences from École Polytechnique, specializing in the management of innovation processes and partnerships. My work has been published in leading academic journals, including Research Policy, giving me a deep understanding of open innovation frameworks and their integration into corporate strategy.

Today, I support general management, strategy, and innovation departments on multi-month assignments to:

- Clarify growth strategy and priorities,

- Structure and manage transformation programs,

- Design or optimize open innovation and partnership frameworks (startups, suppliers, institutes).

I prefer assignments of several months (2 to 6 months), in close partnership with internal teams (hybrid Paris / remote).
