Experienced and result-driven leader with a strong focus on innovation, adept at transforming ideas and concepts into streamlined solutions within demanding and dynamic industrial & business settings. I am dedicated to a bold mission: Building industrial solutions that can generate a positive & enduring impact through the alignement of sustainability with profitability.My career has started in Saint Gobain in the construction industry. I then discovered AgTech at Innovafeed, a fast growing SME decarbonizing feed and food by using insects.In 2024, I join Woodoo as VP Innovation.If you want to discuss how our augmented wood can improve building durability and massively cut into carbon footprint of the construction sector, please reach me.The achievements I’m most proud of :1️⃣ Building innovation teams performing in fast-paced and uncertain environments.I’ve built and managed teams with up to 30 collaborators (technicians, engineers, project managers, vertical directors) and yearly budget of 2 M. I ensure team performance by promoting ownership, focus, agile organizations, streamlined team work & collaboration.2️⃣ Building a portfolio of technologies & partnerships, leading to €1B company valuation.• Acceleration of international deployment through derisked industrial partnerships:👉New by-product formulations , guaranteeing economical perf for 3 new sites in the US (ADM), Asia and EU (confidential).• Ramp-up industrial site delivering 20kt of products in 2023 (SOP 2021):👉1st gen of process developed (TRL9). Optimization of 2nd gen (TRL6).• Maturation of customer pipeline (x 10 in revenues over 2022-2024):👉 Translation of customer voice, leaders in the Ag sector (Cargill, ADM), into optimizat° roadmap for 6 SKU’s,👉Delivering roadmap of trials to support high-value claims (15 trials /y).• Filing of 10+ patents, protecting rearing processes, new products and applications.3️⃣ Building sustainable routes for feed & food production.• Launch of strategic programs promoting solutions increasing sustainability👉Use of food waste in insect feed (-20% in CO2).👉Reduce imprint on marine resources by replacing 50% of fishmeal by insect meal in Salmon feed, .• Stakeholder engagement:👉Strategic consortium with Cargill, Mowi, Labeyrie, Auchan to design a sustainable value chain for insect-fed salmon.Keywords: Construction, Feed & Food, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Sustainability, AgTech.
