About Virginie

Project builder in textiles, I intervene where construction, structuring, or transformation is needed. As a textile engineer, expert in exclusive development and complex project management, I leverage global field experience to activate the value chain 360°. I unite stakeholders and expertise around a common goal, creating the necessary synergy even in uncertain contexts. Grounded in action and attentive to current shifts, I enrich my approach with a sustainability certification to integrate CSR challenges at the heart of innovative, demanding, and diverse projects.
