Passionate about horror and wine, for the past three years she has been working for Techstars in Tel Aviv, Oslo and now Paris. But it all started in Turin where she was the ecosystem manager at OGR Tech. Even since then, while working on startups and sustainability, she takes refuge in nature whenever she can.
After earning a Master’s degree in Marketing and spending five years as a project manager at BNP Paribas, working between Paris and New York, she decided to change course and pursue her passion: pastry.
Following a year of R&D with Jeffrey Cagnes and obtaining a Pastry Chef certificate in Paris, she joined Algama to embark on a new adventure. Wanting to step away from the conventional pastry world, she found the perfect opportunity at Algama to innovate by baking with algae.
