Strategic Advisor · Social Impact & Sustainability
I work with mission-driven organizations, Fortune 500 companies, and UHNW family foundations to translate sustainability commitments into competitive advantage — with the analytical rigor and relational intelligence to move complex initiatives forward.
About
I'm an independent strategic advisor, facilitator, and educator based in Grenoble, France. As a U.S. native operating at the intersection of North American and European markets, I bring a cross-cultural fluency that helps organizations navigate complexity — regulatory, relational, and organizational.
My career began in community development and urban planning, earning an APA award for excellence before moving into the private sector, where I spent six years as a Chief Social Impact Officer at a purpose-driven SaaS platform. I left with deep expertise in how social impact, customer success, and product strategy intersect — and a conviction that sustainability done well is a growth driver, not a constraint.
Today I advise global clients on sustainability strategy, organizational transformation, and social value — and teach these same frameworks to graduate students at GEM Alpine Business School and Sciences Po Paris.
My approach is rooted in anthropology: start by deeply understanding context, then build solutions that are tailored, testable, and built to last.
Services
Each engagement is custom-scoped. I work across three core practice areas — combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution at every stage.
For companies building credible ESG strategy
I help corporate clients move beyond compliance to strategic sustainability aligned to business goals, global policy, and stakeholder expectations. Whether navigating the EU Green Claims Directive, UK Social Value Act, or building an ESG narrative from scratch — I translate policy into positioning and action.
For leadership teams navigating change
I facilitate the hard work of getting teams aligned: defining shared vision, translating strategy into operational plans, and ensuring cross-functional initiatives deliver. Particularly effective when an organization is scaling, restructuring, or managing a leadership transition.
For organizations with high-value relationships
I design and optimize client and partner engagement models that deepen loyalty, reduce churn, and unlock new value. Particularly suited to B2B contexts and mission-driven organizations managing complex stakeholder ecosystems.

How I Work
Every engagement starts with deep context-gathering. I invest time in understanding your organization's culture, stakeholder landscape, and strategic goals before recommending any course of action.
No templates. I architect solutions specific to your context — drawing on a broad toolkit of frameworks (V2MOM, OKRs, business model canvas, SROI) deployed only where they genuinely serve.
Strategy without feedback loops is just theory. I build in checkpoints to validate assumptions, measure progress, and adapt — keeping initiatives grounded in evidence and accountability.
My goal is always to leave your team more capable than I found it. I transfer frameworks, build internal capacity, and ensure that strategic gains persist after our engagement closes.
I start by understanding your context, then build tailored solutions to test, validate, and scale — with people and planet at the heart of every decision.
My training in cultural anthropology, organizational psychology, and urban planning informs an instinct for systems: I look for the human patterns, power structures, and environmental conditions that drive outcomes — and intervene where change is both possible and lasting.
Teaching & Facilitation
I currently serve as Adjunct Lecturer at GEM Alpine Business School, delivering graduate courses in sustainability strategy and organizational management. I also guest lecture at Sciences Po Paris on social value and EU policy — bringing real-world consulting practice directly into the classroom.
