I am the Executive Director of Ecsite. Under my leadership, the Ecsite Conference has grown to become the largest science engagement event in Europe and Ecsite has firmly established itself as a trend setting platform and as a key stakeholder on the European stage. Before I joined Ecsite in 2006, I was working for the Office de Coopération et d’Information Muséographiques (OCIM, France) as a Training coordinator. From 1992 to 1994, I was Professional development coordinator and then Executive director of the Société des Musées Québécois. I have also worked in architecture and art museums in Canada and managed cultural events such as jazz festivals. I hold an MBA in cultural management from HEC Montréal (Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales).

Prior to joining Ecsite in October 2022, I developed skills in stakeholder & citizen engagement as well as moderation and communication by working on various Horizon 2020 projects around topics including circular economy, rural & urban development, critical raw materials, bioeconomy, biodiversity restoration... I also provided my expertise to multiple EU institutions, supporting their engagement activities.
