With over 15 years of consulting experience in Mexico, Spain, and France, I have provided communication strategy and crisis management expertise to the financial, legal, and pharmaceutical sectors. I have also advised research institutes, including the French Ministry of Education and Research, The National Institute of Geographic and Forestry Information, and the Institute of Science and Technology for Transport, as well as university spinoffs such as Ynsect and Afyren.
My consultancy practice is built on experience gained both as an in-house practitioner and an external advisor. I am passionate about the projects I take on and seek to collaborate on exciting initiatives that foster trust with clients and partners, enabling us to develop creative solutions and drive meaningful progress.
Having started as a practitioner before embarking on research, I am deeply committed to the societal and economic impact of research. I have leveraged my own findings to assist The French Agency for Ecological Transition in implementing KPIs and evaluation frameworks for communication performance. Additionally, I co-founded the Association for Academic Consultants (CCC) in Paris to support Knowledge Exchange practices in social sciences and designed innovative training methodologies to develop impactful research projects for the ESRC SCDTP. My work also includes initiating the Franco-Mexican Frugal Innovation research group and contributing to the FAO Virtual Learning Centre course on enabling sustainable and local food systems.
I have worked across various industries, designing and delivering strategic projects and PR activities for the legal, financial, tech, healthcare, and R&D sectors, among others. This experience has reinforced my enjoyment of teamwork and my confidence in project management roles.
A business and communications strategy typically involves conducting interviews, assessing needs, co-designing solutions, providing implementation training, and ensuring effective follow-up. The duration of these activities can vary—from several months to just a few days. For instance, I have developed a six-month strategy for a research body’s five-year plan and facilitated a two-day seminar to create a blueprint for a hemp trade association.
