Biography

Géraldine Mercier PhD is a scientist by training, executive coach, and founder of Awene. After an academic path in life sciences (ENS Lyon, Institut Curie), she chose to move beyond research into the entreprenarial and corporate world, working in innovation consulting, start-ups, and at Roche in Basel.
These experiences shaped her expertise in supporting change, decision-making, team dynamic and transformation in complex environments.
Alongside her career, her passion for dance, theatre, and movement led her to integrate the body into her coaching practice. Trained in executive coaching and Open Floor movement practice, she developed a unique approach combining body, heart, and mind, which she calls “movefulness.”

Her motto, “Move your mind,” reflects her mission: to spark meaningful and lasting change.
