A French national fluent in English and Spanish, I am currently working as Secretary General of the the 'International Platform of Insects for Food & Feed' (IPIFF). The different jobs & functions which I occupied so far helped me to develop strong leadership & diplomatic skills, which often proved necessary in order to reach a consensus amongst different members or to defend the interests of clients or members towards the EU institutions. Through previous professional functions - especially when working with the European Farmers & Agri-Cooperatives Association (Copa-Cogeca) and with the European Commission - I gained substantial knowledge of the EU decision making process and of EU agri-food & trade policies. These experiences also gave me the possibility to develop a solid network of contacts within the EU Institutions as well as with influential EU industry organisations in the agri-food sector.During my recent position as Policy Advisor with Schuttelaar & Partners, I further developed these skills by establishing EU advocacy programmes for companies & Trade associations which are active in agri-food sector.During my studies - I earned a Master degree in European Law and another Master in Agri-Food Law, I also developed strong drafting and organizational skills.
