Experience

Where I've built

From Tech to Climate & Biodiversity Impact

  1. Sep 2026 — Present

    Operations Team · Association pour la Pérennité Programmée Circulaire

    In a world facing resource scarcity and the challenges of decarbonization and industrial sovereignty, ever-faster replacement of goods is no longer a sustainable answer. Circular Planned Durability breaks with the linear industrial model and proposes designing and organizing goods, services, and business models to preserve their value, performance, and the resources already invested over the long term. The result: alignment among the interests of businesses, customers, and the planet.
