Lauren Fried

At Akoneo Incubator, I supported both client startups and the incubator itself in their administrative and organizational management. Thanks to my versatility and adaptability, I was able to meet the specific needs of each structure by providing effective and tailored solutions.

This experience allowed me to work on various tasks, ranging from optimizing internal processes to managing administrative and financial aspects, while contributing to the HR structuring of the supported companies. I also leveraged my proficiency in English and French to facilitate communication and ensure bilingual exchanges.

By working in a dynamic and constantly evolving environment, I developed the ability to quickly integrate into teams and understand the challenges of young, growing companies, thus offering them reliable and responsive operational support.

As the CEO's true right-hand person, I played a key role in supporting the founders daily and in strategic decision-making. My position combined administrative management, human resources, finance, communication, and business development, with end-to-end involvement in the company's structuring and growth.

I managed recruitment and personnel, organized travel, coordinated projects, and participated in trade shows and professional events. I was also responsible for creating external content, drafting internal documents, and preparing pitches in French and English.

On the administrative and financial side, I contributed to legal, accounting, and budget management, as well as preparing for a fundraising round. My role also included managing schedules, appointments, mailings, and relationships with investors and partners.

Finally, I collaborated closely with the sales and technical teams to align the company's strategy with its growth and innovation objectives.
