As an agronomist I am evolving since 15 years in agricultural sector and I have got 8 years experience in R&D project management in France as well as in international context. I have been working in public and private sectors and I am provided with R&D and business strategizing skills. I started my career by working on applied research themes in IPM and crop protection of vegetable and fruit farming. Project manager since 2008 within CIRAD (Saint-Denis, Reunion Island) I focused my work on agronomy and modeling to promote ecological intensification through the optimisation of the performances of multipurpose (food and energy) cropping systems. In 2012 I joined the SASRI (Durban, South Africa) to implement a fast screening method to predict quantitative resistance to pests and diseases using NIR in the South African sugarcane breeding program. From 2014 I integrate transversal skills in business management and strategic analysis that I put into practice with innovative start-up specialized in environment and biotechnology. Today I want to share my experience with companies from the agricultural sector or food processing and cosmetic industries. I am dealling with my own company since 2017 and developping solutions for biowaste valorization by using insects.
