About Nicolas

A public affairs professional specializing in digital health and innovation, I assist organizations in understanding, anticipating, and influencing their institutional and regulatory environment.

After 5 years as Chief of Staff at the Health Data Hub — the public institution at the heart of the French strategy for health data — I know the inner workings of the system from the inside: how to manage relationships with ministries, how to build a strong regulatory position, and how to handle sensitive issues when political and media stakes intertwine with technical ones.

I undertake three types of missions:

Public Affairs & Advocacy: institutional strategy, stakeholder mapping, relationship with public decision-makers
Regulatory Monitoring & Analysis: anticipation of French and European legislative developments, impact assessments, decision-making summaries
Management Support: cross-functional coordination, securing governance bodies, managing complex files with high political stakes

I work with HealthTech startups looking to structure their institutional approach, MedTech companies navigating a demanding regulatory environment, and public sector players needing an external perspective on their strategy.
Available for one-off missions or several months, remotely or in Paris.
