AMANDINE BARLES, SYMBIOSES SOLUTIONS

20 years of experience in complex transformation projects

I support companies and independent professionals in leading strategic projects: organizational transformation, supply chain, quality, logistics, purchasing, digitalization…

My role: structure, clarify and move projects forward, with an approach that's operational, human and pragmatic all at once.

Let's work together

Why I created Symbioses

I spent 20 years leading complex transformations in the corporate world. Then I understood something: my work succeeds when the organization no longer needs me. When the project is delivered, the teams are autonomous, and the processes are in place.

So I created Symbioses to do exactly what I'm best at: support transformation projects, structure them, move them forward, then hand over the keys so teams can carry on with confidence.

Over the past twenty years, I've worked in France, Europe and Korea, for companies such as Danone, Nestlé Health Science, L'Occitane and NAOS. I've worked in demanding environments at the crossroads of operations, supply chain, purchasing, quality and logistics, always with the same goal: turning a complex situation into a concrete action plan.

An agricultural engineer by training, I learned early on to think in systems: understanding how the pieces fit together, identifying blockers, and acting where it truly moves the project forward.

Moving projects forward… and teams with them!

I support companies and independent professionals who have a strategic project to lead, helping them move from situation A to situation B.

What I love about my work isn't just delivering a project. It's helping everyone understand where we're going, why we're going there, and how to contribute concretely to the transformation. Because a project rarely moves forward sustainably without collective buy-in.

I love watching things take shape, tensions ease, teams regain visibility, and decisions become easier to make.

And above all, I love that moment at the end of a project when everyone looks back at the road traveled and realizes what's been achieved.

Outside of projects, I'm passionate about art history and human collaboration.
I also produce Symbioses, a podcast dedicated to mutually beneficial relationships and cooperation.
Because collective dynamics, knowledge-sharing and human relationships have always fascinated me — at work as in life.

How I work

No one-size-fits-all method — an approach tailored to your reality.

There are many project management methods out there. But no two projects are really alike. Every company, every team and every organization has its own constraints, tools, ways of working and goals. So I don't show up with a rigid system to apply the same way everywhere. I bring method, rhythm, structure and clarity — always adapted to your reality on the ground.

My role is to help you move forward with concrete, realistic solutions you can act on quickly. I communicate transparently about what's working, what's blocking progress, and what seems feasible… or not. Because a successful transformation project relies as much on organization as on trust and the flow of information. Risk management, change management and lessons learned are also an integral part of how I work.

✔ Relevance

I take the time to understand your context before proposing anything. No generic, disconnected solutions.

✔ Transparency

If something's blocking progress, you'll hear it from me. Clarity, honesty and communication are part of project leadership.

✔ Adaptability

Every project is different.
I adapt to how you work, your teams and your real-world constraints.

✔ Human commitment

I don't just coordinate teams. I work to create the conditions for them to move forward together.

Support tailored to your situation

I work with large companies as well as more agile structures, always with the same approach:
quickly understanding the challenges, clarifying priorities, and getting the project moving again.
