We first connected with Valerie through the EIC program, and based on that positive experience, we brought her on as a strategic consultant to support the commercial launch of our first medical device. At the time, we had no sales or marketing infrastructure. Valerie helped us shape our go-to-market strategy, refine our positioning, and identify the right distribution channels across Europe. Over the following three years, she remained a trusted advisor—developing marketing assets, enhancing our investor communications, supporting key marketing hires, and even guiding us in exploring AI applications for marketing. Working with Valerie never felt like a typical consultant relationship. She brought sharp strategic insight, deep engagement, and a genuine commitment to our success. I highly recommend her.

Valérie caught my attention right from the start when I was searching for a mentor through the Women TechEU program. While I anticipated that our sessions would be valuable, Valérie's impact exceeded my expectations. She has been instrumental not only in recruitment, sales strategy, and team leadership but also in offering invaluable insights and guidance. Valérie is not only an experienced and skilled mentor but also a uniquely kind and compassionate individual. Her dedication and expertise have been immensely beneficial to both me and CTD. Having worked with Valérie for two years, I can confidently and highly recommend her as a mentor.

I had the pleasure of working with Valerie when we connected through the Horizon Europe program, and her guidance and expertise have had a profound impact on both my personal and professional growth.

Throughout the process of submitting my application to the EIC Accelerator, Valerie provided invaluable support. She helped me refine my pitch, fine-tune my business model, develop a comprehensive market strategy, and enhance my fundraising approach. Her insights into the intricacies of the medical device market were particularly enlightening, enabling me to approach my business endeavors with a deeper understanding and a competitive edge.
