Can you introduce yourself in a few words?
Adopted by Marne since 2003, I am Director of Support and Development withinATMO Grand-Est, which is an approved association for monitoring air quality in Grand Est.
It has always been a real pleasure for me to work for a structure whose values of expertise, impartiality and proximity to all the players in the region underpin all of our Air-Climate-Energy-Health actions.
Attentive to the defense of the general interest, my functions allow me to remain in close contact with the expectations of all stakeholders, to ensure shared information and to support partners in a concern for efficiency in the management of their public policy. Convinced that collective intelligence is essential to succeed in the ecological transition, a central place is given to development and innovation in this Directorate.
Tell us about your journey!
After completing my Masters in Chemistry (Paris VI), I wanted to move into the third university cycle towards the only training relating to atmospheric pollution provided at the time in France, a trigger that came at the end of a conference on the subject given by Philippe LAMELOISE, Director of Airparif.
Holder of a doctorate in Chemistry of atmospheric pollution and environmental physics (PARIS VII), following my thesis in glaciology, I joined the SGS group, a private environmental analysis laboratory as Head of the Air department.
Beyond real meetings with exceptional experts in analytical and environmental chemistry, I learned a lot there, particularly about regulatory issues relating to industrial atmospheric emissions or professional exposure to air pollutants in the workplace.
Yet 3 years later, my desire persisted to be able to be as close as possible to the territorial actors, whom I rarely met. In 2003, I left Paris to become Director of ATMO Champagne-Ardenne until the creation of ATMO Grand Est in 2017.
Tell us what your links are with the Park!
In the microcosm of environmental stakeholders in the Marne, I have often come across the Park team, whether it be a working group to provide planning tools for public development policies or to reduce environmental pollution, or even during events aimed at the general public or institutional stakeholders.
A recent exchange allowed us to identify mutual interests in working together on common themes, such as Urban Planning, Forest Strategy and Education for Sustainable Development.
A discussion is currently underway to develop a lasting partnership in order to strengthen our respective areas of intervention in the service of the inhabitants of the territory.
What is your favorite place in Montagne de Reims?
Without a doubt, the Faux de Verzy, a unique and extremely rare forest heritage on a global scale, which is essential to protect! We cannot remain indifferent to these trees with their strange and unconventional shapes, which give off a certain magic.
If you are an art lover, look at "The Tree of Crows" by Caspar David Friedrich, a German painter and designer from the Romantic era, it might remind you a little of the Montagne de Reims...
