Dr. Audrey-Flore Ngomsik is a corporate social responsibility and sustainable development strategist. TEDx speaker, multi-awarded leader, her mission is to help CEOs place corporate social responsibility & sustainable development in the DNA of their corporate strategy. PhD in Physical Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry from Sorbonne University in Paris (France), Audrey-Flore has centred her career on promoting, developing, disseminating, implementing, and commercializing scientific and social innovations in sustainable development to reduce the carbon footprint of companies.
Convinced of the importance of a global vision of sustainable development, for the last 20 years she has been working with CEO and board members, to leverage social sustainability (people) and environmental sustainability (planet) to increase business profitability, competitiveness and attractivity.
Therefore, Dr Ngomsik does not only strategize on the way to decrease CO2 emissions of a business, but also on the way to increase inherent & acquired diversity (DEI) among decision makers of any organisation. Her expertise radiated in helping businesses to take a proactive approach to sustainability, rather than simply focusing on compliance and regulations.
She has also developed services as startup advisor where she helps founders change their business model to be more sustainable, and profitable, and design the steps to become more and more sustainable in the future.
Her long-term vision is to establish a beacon of sustainability, a centre of excellence where startups, SMEs, medium-sized enterprises, and large corporations converge to accelerate the transformation towards more sustainable, inclusive, and profitable businesses. A place where corporate sustainability becomes business as usual and is integrated in organisations' DNA for business success.
Audrey-Flore is also a member of the Advisory Board of the European Women on Boards Association.
