How I work

A rigorous, transparent and collaborative approach to scientific consulting


My philosophy
For more than 30 years, I have worked at the intersection of science, regulation and strategic decision-making. My approach is built on three principles:

  • Scientific integrity – Evidence-based, methodologically sound, aligned with the latest research.
  • Clarity – Complex concepts translated into clear, actionable guidance for decision-makers.
  • Partnership – Working closely with your team to support informed, confident choices.
Whether you are developing a new molecule, designing a sustainable process, or preparing a Horizon Europe proposal, I bring the depth and structure you need to move forward with confidence.

My 5-step process

1. Discovery & Scoping
We begin with a focused conversation to understand your goals, context and constraints.Together we clarify:
  • Your scientific and strategic priorities
  • The questions you need to answer
  • The scope, timelines and key stakeholders
  • The scientific inputs and data available
This step ensures that the engagement is tailored precisely to your needs.

2. Technical & Scientific Review
I conduct a rigorous analysis of the materials you provide:
  • Available data and studies (toxicology, LCA, exposure, safety)
  • Existing assessments, models or reports
  • Methodological choices and assumptions
  • Compliance with SSbD, LCA/RA standards or EU expectations
You receive a structured diagnosis of strengths, gaps and risks.

3. Expert Analysis & Recommendations
Based on the review, I develop a clear, concise set of conclusions and next steps:
  • What the science supports
  • Where uncertainties lie
  • What needs refinement or further evidence
  • How to align with best practices and EU requirements (SSbD, REACH, PEF, EFSA, ECHA, Horizon Europe)
This is where the real added value emerges:clarity, direction and strategic insight.

4. Delivery & Knowledge Transfer
You receive a high-quality deliverable, adapted to your needs:
  • Expert review note
  • Technical memo
  • Slide deck for internal decision-making
  • Risk or LCA/RA guidance
  • Text for proposal sections 
  • Recommendations for next steps or further analysis
We review it together to ensure full alignment with your internal objectives.

5. Ongoing Support (Optional)
For longer engagements, I can continue supporting your project through:
  • Iterative reviews
  • Participation in technical meetings
  • Advisory support during Horizon Europe implementation
  • Coaching for R&D or proposal teams
  • Scientific QA for deliverables and evidence packages
This ensures continuity, quality and impact throughout the project.


What you can expect

A partnership built on trust and rigour
I work with a limited number of clients to provide the depth, attention and precision that high-stakes scientific work requires.

Direct access to an expert
No junior staff, no hand-offs — you work directly with me from start to finish.

Clear, actionable advice
Every recommendation is grounded in science and tailored to real-world constraints.

European-level insight
My experience at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, Horizon Europe evaluation, and industry projects provides a perspective that bridges science, policy and implementation.
