Following this conviction and a growing interest in Education, I founded my first start-up in Dubai in 2023, Sharingstories.me, a multicultural Kids Library delivered home.

I'm a French sustainability changemaker based in Tokyo. After 15 years in public policy for the French government, I moved to Japan in 2016. Initially at the French Embassy, I then joined the private sector to accelerate corporate sustainability mindsets.

Besides this, I am a facilitator at INSEAD focusing on circular potential in companies.

I am the founder of Catalyst for Change, which is committed to elevating human capital competency and emotional well-being, empowering individuals and organizations to navigate and excel in today's VUCA world.

I am the Chief Operating Officer of Ecoworks, a venture eliminating single-use plastic waste in home care by enabling consumers to refill. We deploy smart refill stations in residential areas so that consumers can reuse existing bottles to purchase cleaning detergents — consumers need the detergent, not the packaging.

I am the founder and soap crafter at My Naked Bar. I founded the label to spark conversations around living a more intentional low-waste lifestyle through playful applications of our soap packaging that challenges the norm. Prior to this journey, I was in the healthcare/eyecare industry.

Companies these days are increasingly looking to gift sustainably. However, a majority still view regular 'green' products as their choice sustainable gifts which lead to major over-production around the world (in relation to actual needs). Living in a first-world country, most Singaporean families have excessive amounts of such reusable items sitting unused at home, chucked into cabinets. Hence, I am on a journey to advocate for what I call Impact Positive Gifting - the gifting of essentials that are consumables that can be used up while inspiring low-waste lifestyles that recipients may not try out on their own.
