I'm Fabien.
I work with businesses, communities, and anyone leading change within them — to keep bringing more sustainable practices with real, positive impact.
Why I do this
Most businesses I work with are already doing something. Reducing waste, rethinking how they buy, engaging their people on climate. Some are doing quite a lot. But ask them to talk about it and they hesitate — afraid of saying the wrong thing, of being accused of greenwashing, of being held to a standard they can't yet meet.
So they go quiet. Good work happens and no one hears about it. That silence matters — because businesses hold something that campaigns and regulations often don't: trust. From employees who take cues from them, customers who make choices based on what they see, communities shaped by local employers. When a business acts honestly and talks about it clearly, it doesn't just shrink its own footprint. It shifts what feels normal for everyone around it.
This is where I come in. My role isn't just to help businesses do more — it's to help them build on what they're already doing, push it further, and turn it into a coherent, intentional strategy they can stand behind and talk about with confidence.

What I bring
Passionate about people
Certified coach with facilitation experience across teams and communities. I've spent years developing resilience and learning programmes — designing sessions that build trust, shift mindsets, and actually stick. I believe good conversations change things.
15+ years experience
Customer support, tech consulting, product, marketing, L&D, and programme management — mostly in leadership roles. More recently, advisory work at Reloop and Something. I've seen how organisations work from the inside, which shapes how I approach sustainability: practically, not theoretically.
Education
Master's in Engineering (INSA Lyon). Postgrad in Computer Science and Innovation for Sustainability (UCD / Trinity College Dublin). Certified in Climate Science, Carbon Accounting, Project Management, and Coaching. Carbon Literacy trainer.
My approach
Simplicity
Sustainability is full of jargon and complexity that gets in the way. I strip that back. If I can't explain something clearly, I haven't understood it well enough.
Engagement
People take action when they feel involved, not when they feel lectured at. Everything I do is designed to be participatory — whether it's a workshop for five people or a training for fifty.
Collaboration
I don't arrive with a pre-packaged solution. I work with you to figure out what makes sense — and when you need something beyond my own expertise, I connect you with the right people. Specialists, practitioners, partner organisations. You get one point of contact and access to a wider network.
"Innovation is born from the interaction of different perspectives and the spark of collaboration.
