Silvy Auboiron, PhD, founder of SAlimenter, is a specialist in food and related behaviours.

Silvy Auboiron holds a PhD in nutrition and a master’s degree in the sociology of food.

After more than 20 years in the food industry, where she held various positions in R&D and scientific relations, Silvy Auboiron focuses her activity on consulting and project management in the field of food and related behaviours, as well as on the levers for their evolution. It is in this context that she has taken an interest in social marketing, with the Danone Institute’s Clémantine training programme as an example, designed to help school catering staff better fulfil their role in educating children about food.

With 30 years of experience in the field of sport in general and high level sport in particular, Thibault Deschamps has developed a recognised expertise in the fields of sport, health, fitness and well-being, but also in public-private partnerships.  He has been a Sports Technical Advisor for the Ministry of Sports since 1999, and is involved in two national structures dedicated to prevention:

– President of Fédérons les Villes pour la Santé (FLVS), which carries the Vivons en Forme (VIF) programme since 2014,

– Secretary General of the Institut des Rencontres de le Forme (IRFO) since 2010.

Involved in several general interest dynamics, he is mobilized on “Living well together” which is a national priority. He is also convinced of the importance of bringing each citizen, whatever his age, his experience, his history and his abilities, to become more “actor of his shape”. To achieve this, he believes that we need to re-enchant health prevention, which must be carried out in close proximity and in a co-construction approach.

With a degree in communication and a Master’s degree in corporate and institutional communication from the Sorbonne, Sylvie Arzelier has spent her entire career in the private sector, first in an agency, then with an advertiser.

She joined Ramsay Santé’s communications department as editorial and internal communications manager, and at the end of 2016, she took up the post of general secretary of the Group’s Foundation, at a time when the latter was embarking on an approach to promote health prevention.

Jean Marc Ferrandi is Professor of Marketing, Consumer Behaviour and Innovation at Oniris, Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire, Agroalimentaire et de l’Alimentation in Nantes within the Laboratory of Economics and Management (LEMNA) of the University of Nantes.

A fan of the “Pas de Côté”, he directs the Centre d’Innovation Alimentaire (CIA) within Oniris and pilots the PIA3 Hill (Hybrid Innovative Learning Lab) programme for Oniris.

His research focuses on the psychological and social drivers of consumption behaviour. He is particularly interested in perceived psychological distance and behavioural changes, especially in the field of health and nutrition.

Sandrine Raffin founded the LinkUp Factory 10 years ago on the idea that companies and brands should become contributors to sustainable development and rethink their development model around their societal utility.

Today, the LinkUp Factory with its 30 collaborators, communicators, engineers and creatives, accompanies many brands and companies in France and abroad to implement their CSR strategies, their MSR strategies – Brand Social Responsibility – or to develop their raison d’être. In parallel, the agency pursues research and deploys programmes targeting behavioural change. In 2017, Sandrine published “La promesse augmentée: la nouvelle responsabilité sociale des marques” (The augmented promise: the new social responsibility of brands) with Editions Kawa.

In 2019, she published with Patricia Gurviez “Nudge and Social Marketing: keys and inspiring experiences to change behaviours” published by Editions Dunod. She was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 2010.
