Steering your transformation projects, with method and clarity.
Expert in structuring, leading and unblocking your strategic transformations.
I help executives and managers structure and lead their complex transformation projects.
Your project is strategic… but doesn't move forward like you want it to?
You have a major project on your plate: organizational transformation, certification, digitalization, a new process, logistics overhaul… but:
✖️ no one really has time to lead it
✖️ your project manager is a business expert, but not a seasoned project manager
✖️ the project is stalling and you don't know why
✖️ decisions are being delayed
✖️ teams aren't aligned
Whatever the cause, the project stagnates, and the pressure builds.
If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place

Who am I ?
I'm Amandine Barles, an expert in leading transformation projects.
For 20 years, I've worked in demanding environments (industry, supply chain, quality, purchasing, digitalization) in France and internationally.
I've supported companies such as Danone, Nestlé Health Science, L'Occitane, NAOS, Royal Canin and Mars on strategic projects.
I created Symbioses to offer agile, structured and human support, grounded in operational reality.
My specialty: quickly understanding what's blocking progress and putting concrete actions in place to move your projects forward.
What makes the difference
A pragmatic, results-driven approach
Working with Symbioses means working with an expert fully invested at your side.
✔ A project that moves forward, with a schedule that holds, clear roles, and blockers removed
✔ An engaged team: not just coordinated, but truly on board
✔ Full visibility: you know where things stand, at all times
✔ Zero surprises: if something's stuck, you'll hear it from me, before it's too late
With me, you don't get an off-the-shelf solution — you get genuine listening, real experience, and a true ability to adapt to your reality.
Tailored approach
Every project is unique. I adapt my method to your context.
Hands-on experience
20 years in industrial, FMCG, quality and supply chain environments.
Flexibility
Expertise available on demand, with no recruitment constraints.
