Laurence Bernard 
Hands-On Expertise


  • 25 years of experience in R&D and innovation within major international groups and SMEs (Unilever, Sara Lee, IFF, Exsymol).
  • An international career (United Kingdom, United States, France, Monaco) with a global perspective on innovation.
  • A dual expertise: R&D innovation combined with human-centered coaching for change management.

Why Did I Create LMCB INNOVATION PARTNER?

Because too many companies face the same challenges: ineffective collaboration, slow innovation, and lack of structure. My goal is to provide a clear framework, the right tools, and a fresh perspective so they can finally unlock their full potential.
