5 years of EeD: Vanessa St. Germain

When EeD was still a toddler, one of the most complex issues was facing the management strategy. I (the fella in the photo) came from the world of calculations and problem resolution, linked to the purest essence of an industrial designer. So, I believed a company could run just the same if the offer of services was just good. So wrong was I!

Meeting Vanessa

Vanessa Saint Germain, is an expert in project management, and also worked as business consultant when I first met her in 2015.

We found synergies from the start since we both shared a deep interest for CleanTech business opportunities. So, she has participated in the development of the company from the very early stages. 

The turning point

Thanks to Vanessa, EeD could devise a feasible business strategy, create a well structured business master plan, and start thinking as an organised network of entrepreneurs pursuing similar goals to maximise opportunities and optimise quality.

Vanessa believed from the start in EeD, and was the first core collaborator we had, undertaking business-related tasks in parallel to her own entreprenurial venture. Despite she found a great opportunity at SIG, she was always helpful and kept giving a hand when needed. Unfortunately for us, life ha different plans for her and couldn't continue collaborating. Anyhow, I couldn't be more grateful for her valuable help, and deeply hope she is exploiting her huge potential. 

Thank you Vanessa for all your support,
and for such lovely coffee times in Nyon!
