LAURÈNE DE SAINT CHAFFRAY

Before co-founding AZIMIO, she had carried out investigations for three established media groups (L'Expansion, Le Parisien, M6) and then worked in a consultancy and market research company. It led her to cultivate great skills in data collection and analysis.

She is particularly familiar with cross-cultural environments, as she has worked for a year in Africa and India, supporting impactful projects as an independent consultant. She also developed a significant expertise in waste management issues (collection, recycling, valorization) and project management in the environmental sector. Since the creation of AZIMIO, she has led several market and pre-feasibility studies in developing countries. Those missions allowed her to strengthen her capacities in quantitative and qualitative data analysis and to expand her knowledge on waste, energy and inclusive businesses.
