Virginie works as a Senior Regulatory Physico-Chemist, managing technical and regulatory aspects for the registration of chemicals in EU, from substance identification and testing strategy to dossier compilation.

Virginie has particular expertise in study monitoring, under the principles of Good Laboratory Practices. Her skills include analytical method validation, covering various matrices and regulatory frameworks, and ability to follow non-standard testing with technical exchanges with partner laboratories.

Though mostly involved in EU REACH projects, Virginie regularly supports other specialisms, with the same commitment to finding practical, reasonable and scientifically sound solutions. From the variety of products faced in her career, she's gained knowledge and experience in most chemicals-related legislations.

With now 30 years of cumulated and continued experience, Virginie started in the industry for 7 years, with development of agricultural products (fertilisers, Natural Defence Stimulator), formulation and related EU and national regulations, including Classification/Labelling and manual compilation of Safety Data Sheets, where she is still up-to-date (CLP, GHS, notifications to C&L inventory or to Poison Centres).

Virginie moved into regulatory consultancy – specifically the regulatory compliance of Plant Protection Products – where she handled study monitoring for common and PPP-specific physicochemical requirements, compilation of regulatory dossiers, and worked with risk assessment tools (UK POEM, BBA, buffer zone).

In the early stages of the Biocides legislation, Virginie contributed to the guidance on labelling of products developed by the French ministry.

Chemist by training (top of class!), Virginie headed to REACH from the first deadline – performing data evaluation and datagap management, and compiling (in IUCLID) a significant number of dossiers for the fragrance industry, as well as others. Occasionally Virginie provides standard or customised, basic or high level, training.

Being an adaptable person, Virginie enjoys continuous learning and training. Early 2024 she successfully passed a university module on Spectrometric methods for structural analysis. She is also a certified Safety Advisor for Transport of Dangerous Goods (road, classes 3 to 9 but 7), obtaining full marks in the 2025 renewal.
