Using participative processes, or "Fair Process", she accompanies numerous business families in Europe and around the world; she also is a non-executive Board member.

Previously, Christine Blondel worked as a general consultant, then at Procter & Gamble for around 9 years, in Marketing and Finance. She is a graduate of École Polytechnique France and INSEAD (MBA, Negotiation, and Governance programmes).
Having raised four boys, now adults, is an important part of her CV, and also, to some extent, the fact that several family businesses have existed in her direct and indirect ancestry.
Christine Blondel works with a number of experts who share her values. Their skills include corporate and family governance, leadership and coaching, psychology, mediation, finance, business training, etc. They can intervene in various languages.
