As an expert advisor and project manager for international NGOs and NGOs representing indigenous peoples, Émilie has spearheaded numerous projects aimed at improving the well-being of indigenous peoples and other local populations. Her work focuses on preserving cultural heritage and languages, protecting forests and biodiversity, and implementing sustainable development initiatives to address the economic and food needs of these populations.
Émilie is also a respected advisor to governmental and international organizations, including the UN, the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, European Deputies, and the C20 for the G20. Her expertise is sought after for developing strategies for respecting indigenous peoples and protecting the forests, climate, and biodiversity.
In addition, Émilie advises companies committed to sustainable and ethical business practices.
She also collaborates with governmental and international funds that finance and invest in sustainable development projects that yield positive social and environmental impacts. She has been working with funds such as Eurazéo, Fonds Moringa owned by Edmond de Rothschild Bank, and the FFEM (French Global Environment Facility) of the AFD (French Development Agency) belonging to the French government. She’s responsible for addressing social and environmental issues and devising ESG strategies. She assists in establishing impact funds and planning projects that avoid negative impacts on local populations, including indigenous peoples and the environment. Her responsibilities encompass environmental and social risk assessment, impact monitoring, development of methodological tools, team training, and forming partnerships with local populations to respond to their needs and protect the environment.

Recently, Émilie published her second book, "Les Gardiens de la forêt - Sagesse, art de vivre et philosophie du bonheur des peuples autochtones," through Editions du Cherche Midi. The book features life stories and interviews with the Kayapo, Paresi, Guarani, and Huni Kuin indigenous peoples, offering insights into their approaches to universal issues. It highlights their inspiring and adaptable models for society, addressing themes such as their relationship with nature, sustainable resource management, intergenerational dialogue, resilience, governance, societal values, happiness, and education.
