About Muskan

I help companies get ahead of CSRD and ESRS reporting requirements, from mapping regulatory nomenclature to running supplier due diligence at scale.

At Opella Healthcare (formerly Sanofi Consumer Healthcare), I built a database mapping 3,000+ ESG investor requests, customer questionnaires, and emerging regulations to the ESRS AR 16 nomenclature, creating a single reliable source companies can report from long term. I also led human rights due diligence across 90+ suppliers against CSRD/ESRS S2 standards, and coordinated responsible sourcing compliance across another 70+ suppliers against FSC and RSPO guidelines.

Before that, at Forvis Mazars, I delivered CSRD-aligned non-financial reporting for a 100+ country global workforce, improving disclosure accuracy by 20% through structured validation and consistency checks. I also managed a cross-functional ESG data transformation project that improved reporting efficiency.

What I can help with:

• CSRD/ESRS gap assessments and materiality mapping.
• Supplier due diligence and human rights risk screening.
• ESG data structuring and reporting workflows.
• Translating regulatory requirements into clear, board-ready reporting.

I hold dual master's degrees from SKEMA Business School (Eiffel Excellence Scholarship recipient) and wrote my thesis on sustainability transformation in the French healthcare sector, giving me a specific edge for life sciences and pharma clients navigating CSRD.

I work in English fluently and French at a working level. Based in Paris, open to remote and hybrid engagements.
