About Ségolène

Are you looking to strengthen your R&D and innovation strategy in healthcare, nutrition or biotechnology?

I help companies transform scientific knowledge into market-ready, evidence-based innovations. With over 7 years of experience in research, product development and innovation management, I bring a dual perspective - scientific and strategic - to support your projects from concept to launch.

What I offer:

• Evaluation of scientific and market potential for new health products or ingredients
• R&D and innovation roadmap design
• Scientific communication and evidence-based storytelling for B2B or B2C audiences
• Cross-functional project management (R&D, marketing, regulatory, communication)
• Support for partnerships between startups, research institutions and brands

My approach combines scientific rigor with creativity and market insight. I work closely with teams to design credible, innovative, and impactful solutions that contribute to both public health and business growth.

Let’s turn your research and ideas into meaningful innovations that make a difference.
