She has worked with lenders in providing market support for project finance; she has assisted private equity investors in the review and evaluation of businesses and assets. Over the last 3 years, Karine has led the development and management of cross-team consulting projects to support clients seeking to understand opportunities and threats linked to the Energy Transition (ET), and options to improve feedstock supply sustainability, such as via bio and circular routes.
