Back to original languageAbout Lilia
Talking to producers and decision-makers alike.
From the microbiology lab to the fruit packing station, from cooperative groups to agricultural unions, I have worked across all links in the agri-food chain. Today, I work independently on two complementary axes: food quality/safety and professional training.
What I do specifically:
- **QHSE Audit and Consulting**: Hygiene diagnostics, HACCP implementation or revision, documentation structuring, preparation for distributor referencing or client audits. I translate regulatory requirements into practical actions, without unnecessary jargon.
- **Professional and Cross-functional Training**: Design and delivery of tailor-made training courses on food hygiene, safety, good practices, applied microbiology, as well as marketing, sales, customer relations, and change management. Diverse audiences: field operators, students from CAP to Master's level, company teams.
- **Educational Engineering**: Creation of turnkey materials for training organizations: outlines, courses, case studies, assessments, e-learning.
- **Agricultural Consulting**: Farm audits, strategic diagnostics, production valorization support, agricultural communication and marketing.
Significant Experience:
- HACCP audits and support for farms and agri-food businesses
- Training for business schools and professional organizations: IHEDREA, Keyce Academy, Nellapp
- Blue Whale cooperative group: sector quality, GMS, major distributor referencing
- Eurofins LBO: food microbiology, ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 standards
- Jeunes Agriculteurs (Young Farmers): national strategic project coordination, change management
I work in person or remotely, on short or long-term assignments. I don't bite (unless you try to make me say "disruptive" or "customer-centric excellence")
