Back to original languageAbout Mariana
As an independent consultant and PhD in the chemistry of natural substances, I support brands, institutions, project leaders, or investors in their reflections on responsible innovation, the valorization of natural resources, and the structuring of sustainable plant sectors.
My approach is based on more than 15 years of experience in managing R&D projects, market research, and techno-economic analysis of sustainable development concepts and natural products, combining product strategy, naturalness, scientific storytelling, and feasibility assessment.
I offer targeted missions such as:
— opportunity studies and strategic positioning for impact projects,
— techno-economic analyses for the development of natural sectors or ingredients,
— bioeconomic innovation consulting, to create a link between science, market, and sustainability.
Areas of intervention: natural health, cosmetics, nutrition, medicinal plants, food supplements, emerging markets, ecological transition.
