My galaxy
The collaborative and innovation ecosystem has many players, linked by complementary skills and visions, beyond the boundaries of their respective organizations. Here are the partners I like to work with, and who can contribute to the success of your/our projects, in French or in English.
We work hand-in-hand
Thibault Chêne - Director, Eight Advisory
I love working with Lorraine because, as well as being a brilliant consultant committed to the success of the projects we run, she has qualities of honesty, sharing and professionalism that I admire. She approaches each project with the utmost seriousness and the same high standards that do not prevent her from taking a step back to unblock the situation when necessary. Her sense of humour is also one of the qualities that makes our collaboration valuable.

Who am I ?
Removing the barriers between decision and action is the foundation of my work. Conversations are my number one tool: I’m available to talk about your situation, speak about my experience, or hear how you have built on my work to do yours.
20 years of experience in France and the USA
- I spent 10 years in France in the field of economics, technology and law as a management consultant at Pricewaterhouse-Coopers and then at the telecom regulator (Arcep).
- I made the most of my 2 experiences in the United States: as a student in international relations the first time, and then organizing and resettling refugees, translating/interpreting for asylum seekers, and mostly organizing and researching with Tom Reiss for the preparation of his book “The Black Count” (Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction 2013).
- Back to France, I joined small consulting firms as a Senior Manager. Every time I needed to create a job, I became a freelancer. I am now part of a galaxy of seasoned professionials, eager to facilitate and co-design new modes of governance, leading companies to better decision-making and greater team participation in their future.
