Description

Author of the book "For a Capitalist, Liberal and Optimistic Ecology", I am committed to reconciling ecology and economy. With a varied professional experience, particularly in a large international group heavily involved in CSR / Ecological Transition issues, I am keen to put my skills and experience at the service of SMEs/VSEs, in order to participate in the definition and implementation of innovative, effective and profitable solutions that reduce the environmental impact of these companies while creating value for their customers and shareholders.
