Who am I
Coming from the humanities and social sciences (Master's degree, Sciences Po Bordeaux; doctoral research in political philosophy, Paris X) and raised on La Méthode (Edgar Morin), I then turned to the political stakes of technology by founding Assemblée Virtuelle, an association bringing together many exploratory projects on distributed socio-technical architectures.
R&D on peer-to-peer digital infrastructures and network organisation models; design and prototyping of data ecosystems for the communities of the socio-ecological transition, short food supply chains, energy networks, territorial cooperative ecosystems, building-material reuse, and training in the challenges and professions of the transition.
Currently completing a PhD on "Peer-to-peer networks facing systemic entropy: the participatory design of a Local-first Data Space for circular construction" (ADEME / UTT / Data Players thesis, defence in early 2027).
Involved in NextGraph (early contributor), GS1 (member of the standardisation committee), Forum d'Action Modernités (member of the foundation's executive committee), Association pour la Pérennité Programmée Circulaire (co-founder), Building Data X (initiator and contributor on the reuse use case).
Consultant and facilitator, finally: support for inter-organisational collectives, data space design, circular business models, organisational strategy and foresight.
Methods
I step in at the ideation or seeding stage of projects, and organise my own dispensability.
I work alone but in a network, so never alone. From the Orne bocage, with an ecosystem of partners sharing common visions and complementary expertise.
The originality of my approach: combining what is usually set in opposition. Research and action, meaning and efficiency, the ecological, the social and the technical, the local and the global, order and chaos, low tech and high tech, simplicity and complexity, among others. The finest adventures feed on these tensions.
Believing deeply in the power of collectives, I strive, finally, to put myself at their service. My stance is that of a facilitator. It seeks to let collective intelligence express itself, and to equip it in its operational developments, drawing on the concepts, methods, tools and lessons learned accumulated over nearly twenty years.
