About
Independent consultant — Public communication, international affairs, influence strategy.
Independent consultant — Founder of LP Stratégies
Lawyer by training and hands-on communicator, I combine strategic and creative expertise to serve public, private and international actors.
7+ years of experience within the European Commission, the French MFA (MEAE), the French Ministry of Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs, pan-European NGOs and regulated companies.
I support public, private and international organisations on their communication, inter-institutional coordination and outreach — both nationally and internationally.
This dual culture — institutional and operational — lets me move seamlessly from strategy (briefing notes, talking points, communication plans) to execution (visuals, videos, posts, vendor coordination).
Working trilingually in French · English · Spanish, mobile between Paris, Clermont-Ferrand and internationally.
Lawyer (Master's in International Relations UCA, Master's in International Law UCM Madrid, US Law diploma) and operational — visual production, social media management, video editing.
Comfortable with confidential settings (NDAs, defence, diplomacy), protocol deadlines and public-service codes.
First exchange (30 min) and 1-2-page framing note offered before any quote. Peer-to-peer, never sales-driven.

Positioning
Most consultants write. Most creatives produce. Very few do both — within an institutional framework, under NDA, in three languages.
Master's in International Relations · Master's in International Law (Madrid) · University Diploma in US Law.
→ I read a European regulation the way I read a creative brief.
Video production, visual identity, social media management, motion design.
→ I don't subcontract execution. I do it.
MEAE (Netherlands, Madagascar), Ministry of Armed Forces, European Commission, local authorities.
→ Public-service codes are not learned in a classroom.
