Innovation Coach — Turning Ideas Into Validated Results

I am Amandine Devergies. I coach innovation teams at multinationals to move from vague concept to validated proof — using Lean Startup, Design Thinking methods and AI tools.

15+ years coaching product and business innovation in FMCG and CPG, across markets from Switzerland to Southeast Asia. I work with teams — not for them.

My Approach: Lean, Fast, Human

Start with the Customer

Before building anything, I help teams understand what people actually need — not what they assume. Real conversations. Real data. No guesswork.

Test Before You Invest

Using Lean Startup and AI-accelerated tools, I coach teams to build the smallest possible version of an idea and test it with real users in days — not months.

Build Capability, Not Dependency

My goal is to make myself unnecessary. I transfer skills and frameworks so your team can run the next project independently — with confidence.

15+ Years Coaching Innovation in FMCG

My coaching experience was built inside some of the world’s most demanding innovation environments — from Nestlé’s global R&D pipeline to the agile structures of Cereal Partners Worldwide. I’ve coached product teams through the full journey: from messy first ideas to market-ready launches.

What I bring is not theory. It’s the pattern recognition that comes from having navigated regulatory constraints, consumer insight, cross-functional alignment, and tight timelines — across 12+ markets, multiple categories, and teams speaking 6 languages.

“I started using AI in my innovation work before ChatGPT became a household name. It’s a tool — a powerful one. But the human judgment that decides what to test, and why, is irreplaceable.”
