Alexia Colson Duparchy

I assist clients (from global lawfirms to small wellness companies) with strategic and innovative business development, team motivation, CSR, experiential learning and marketing. I bring my transversal expertise, talent for leveraging your network, and where needed my wide range of contacts. I'm all about pragmatism, openness and friendly interaction.

I have worked as a lawyer for international firms in Canada, South Africa, UK, UAE and France, where I have undertaken a wide variety of mandates and delivered advice for public and private sector clients alike (international trade law, project finance, asset finance, corporate law). I then turned to business initiation within global law firms and became a resourceful business development manager specialized in the development of cross-border strategies, the creation of transversal, user-friendly, malleable in-depth management systems of key clients’ accounts and the pooling of synergies.

In parallel, my keen interest in wellness brands (health & beauty) and getting experience in an entrepreneurial, fast-growing environment, led to a second project. A co-founder of Botanica Natural Products (strategic sustainable and responsible sourcing of natural extracts/active ingredients), I oversee its business strategy for Europe.

Anecdotally, and true to my French genes, I was behind the "Draw Me a Fridge/ Dessine Moi Un Frigo"​ column for Clotilde Dusoulier's highly acclaimed Chocolate & Zucchini website http://chocolateandzucchini.com/category/interviews/draw-me-a-fridge/
