Bio

Ethical Energy Expert

About Me

I am the visionary founder of Next Energy Consumer, a pioneering international consultancy that is reshaping the narrative around energy and climate transitions. With a footprint spanning Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, I am not just an expert—I am a global influencer in the realm of energy justice and sustainability.

Why Me?

What sets me apart is my unique blend of consumer advocacy and a deep-rooted commitment to the 4Ds: Democratisation, Decentralisation, Digitalisation, and Decarbonisation. I don't just talk about change; I catalyze it. My work is a testament to my dedication to marginalized communities, including women and ethnic minorities, ensuring that the transition to sustainable energy is inclusive and just.

The Bridge Builder

I serve as a vital conduit between civil society, academia, industry, and policymakers. My role is to facilitate dialogues that matter, breaking down complex issues into actionable insights.

Energ'Ethic Podcast

As the host of the Energ'Ethic podcast, I spotlight the unsung heroes of the energy and climate sectors, offering a platform for the inspiring voices that are driving global change.

Accolades

My innovative approach has not gone unnoticed. I am honored to be one of the inaugural ambassadors of the European Climate Pact, a recognition that underscores my influence and reach.

Global Citizen

A French national living in Italy, fluent in English and Italian, my multicultural background enriches my perspective, making me a sought-after speaker for international events.

Credentials

I hold a Master's degree in Political Sciences from Sciences Po Lille and Economics from the University of Lille, France. Prior to founding Next Energy Consumer, I served as the Secretary-General of NEON, the European network of energy dispute resolution services, where I honed my expertise in consumer protection and empowerment for over a decade.

In short

As the Ethical Energy Expert, I bring more than just knowledge—I bring a movement. I specialize in bridging the gap between policy and people, turning complex issues into actionable insights. With a focus on the 4Ds—Democratisation, Decentralisation, Digitalisation, and Decarbonisation—I ensure that the transition to sustainable energy is both just and inclusive. My global footprint and multicultural expertise make me a sought-after speaker, capable of resonating with diverse audiences. Choose me if you're looking for a speaker who not only educates but also empowers and inspires.
