About 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 the entire agri-food sector supply chain. Today, I work independently on two complementary areas: food quality/safety and professional training.

What I do in practice:

  • **QHSE Audit and Consulting**: Hygiene diagnostics, HACCP implementation or revision, documentation structuring, preparation for distributor 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 in food hygiene, safety, good practices, applied microbiology, as well as marketing, sales, customer relations, and change management. Various audiences: field operators, CAP to Bac+5 students, company teams.
  • **Educational Engineering**: Creation of turnkey materials for training organizations: outlines, courses, case studies, assessments, e-learning.
  • **Agricultural Consulting**: Farm audits, strategic diagnostics, support for product valorization, agricultural communication and marketing.

Significant Experience:

  • HACCP audits and support for farms and agri-food companies
  • Training for higher education institutions and professional organizations: IHEDREA, Keyce Academy, Nellapp
  • Blue Whale cooperative group: sector quality, GMS, major retailer 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")
