OUR TEAM

With a background in social sciences and management sciences, we decided to think of an innovative consulting approach that is closer to the field. In 2015, we created the "Waste me up" association and conducted several missions relating to solid waste management in East Africa and India alongside companies, SMEs, NGOs and foundations. It was back in France and following experiences in a consulting firm that we decided to create AZIMIO.
