Biographie

The environment has always been the main theme of my professional career, with a particular interest in biodiversity. Admitted to the New York and Paris Bars in 2005, I first apprehended the theme of biodiversity through law (classified installations, impact studies, biodiversity offsets, etc.).

The desire to have a more operational, more scientific understanding of biodiversity then led me to leave the legal profession and educate myself on ecology issues. At the same time, I worked at Dervenn, a company specialized in ecological engineering.

As a Manager at Deloitte Sustainable Development (following the acquisition of BIO Intelligence Service), I accompanied public institutions (European and national) and private companies in the consideration of environmental issues, through studies or consulting services.

In parallel, wishing to widen my knowledge and my comprehension of the stakes related to biodiversity and land use, I enthusiastically pursued a pluridisciplinary degree on these topics: the Master 2 BIOTERRE (Biodiversity Territory Environment) of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, concluded in November 2018 by a research paper on “Ex-ante and ex post biodiversity offsets: What integration into a territorial project?”. This (new) enriching academic experience, opening the field of possibilities, led me to leave Deloitte in order to focus on the issues related, directly or indirectly, to the taking into account of biodiversity in projects.
