Sur moi
👉 30 years of experience in Research & Innovation, including 25 years in the field of microencapsulation applied to multiple markets (food and human nutrition, feed and animal health, home & personal care, crop protection and biocontrol, …)
Strong background in operational and strategic management related to: Product and Process Innovation, Research and Development, Contract and Project Management, New Business Identification and Development, Establishment of Partnerships
In 2006, I created Capsulæ, a CRO specialized in microencapsulation, referenced in the top 10 world leaders of its category after 15 years under my supervision.
In 2018, Capsulæ is acquired by Innov’ia, expert and leader in the production of tailor-made powders in Europe.
In 2022, Capsulæ merges with IdCaps, the R&D subsidiary of Innov’ia, to become Innov'ia's Research and Innovation Center (high qualified team of 35 researchers including PhDs, engineers and technician).
After being the Deputy Director of this new organization, I am in charge since 2025 of the development of the external scientific partnerships (universities, start-ups, SMEs, large companies), as well as the development and management of the IP portfolio of the company.
