who are we ?

Why did you create Evalu?

It is within the framework of my experience in quality within the demanding world of the manufacture of aseptic pharmaceutical products that from 1999, I approach the problem of the validation of computerized systems with the SFSTP commission “Validation of computerized systems”. For 12 years I worked successively in two consulting firms specializing in these areas. This is where I learned to respond to issues related to the quality of information systems with the aim of meeting the regulatory requirements of life science industries – pharmaceutical, medical device, cosmetic and also financial industries.

I created Evalu in 2012 in order to use my expertise and respond in a simple and pragmatic way to bring mastery of information systems to my clients. I also wanted to train new employees and young people in order to pass on my knowledge to them and enable them in turn to provide the appropriate quality solutions.

What is the mission that has marked you the most while working at Evalu?

The mission that struck me the most was the one I carried out with our client Sanofi. It was my first mission as a consultant in quality assurance of computerized systems. Until then I mainly did consulting in validation and not in quality assurance. It was also my longest assignment, lasting over a year.

In this new role, I learned to review the validation documentation, to approve documentation or to ensure that it complies with regulations and internal procedures. I had to make important decisions for the project and this mission represents a great evolution in my career.

Why do you like working at Evalu?

I really like working at Evalu because it’s a company on a human scale with values that I share, such as respect. The bond between colleagues is maintained by sharing sessions, training and activities of the Ministry of Happiness organized each month by each of the collaborators. Assignments at Evalu are highly varied, ranging from computerized systems validation toquality assurance and participation in audits in various sectors.

The variety of sectors in which we work and missions allow us to broaden our skills. Training opportunities such as project management or the Green Belt Lean Six Sigma certification in continuous improvement offer many prospects for development in the position.

Is Evalu committed from a social and environmental point of view?

When I joined the evalu team, I was very pleasantly surprised to discover the real commitments of the company and of Karine, the creator of the company. Whether environmentally or socially, Evalu takes the side of getting involved. In 2021 we were awarded the Ecovadis silver medal and Karine decided to hire me to implement new actions.

At Evalu, we are aware of future challenges and have decided to join a CSR support program in order to exchange with other companies around environmental and societal themes to implement new measures and actions in the future.

Why did you choose Evalu?

First of all because Evalu fits perfectly into my engineering curriculum in health and biotechnology, but also and above all because it is made up of a small, ambitious and dynamic young team, and that is, I find a real plus for a first work experience.
You quickly feel comfortable there, it’s easier to talk to your colleagues and learn skills that will be useful throughout your professional life.
Also, the field of health is an area that I think will explode especially following the current health crisis and Evalu is already working with major players, this only bodes well for the future!

What is the atmosphere at work? How would you describe the corporate culture?

The work atmosphere at Evalu is very close-knit. Respect, collaboration and availability are the values shared within the team, and all exchanges are pleasant.

There’s a real desire to maintain links between everyone and to develop a group spirit thanks to the various moments organized as a team. This helps maintain the relaxed, sharing and listening atmosphere that characterizes the company’s culture, always in line with Evalu’s values.

A good example is the company seminar held in January 2023, during which we worked as a team on subjects at the heart of the computerized systems validation consultancy profession: the life cycle of a system, pharmaceutical risk management, etc.life cycle of a system, pharmaceutical risk management…

What’s more, we provide real support for young consultants, enabling them to develop their skills quickly and efficiently.

What do you like best about your role at Evalu?

As a business developer withEvalu, my favorite part of my role is the opportunity to create and develop strong relationships with our customers. Karine, the founder, already has good links with customers, and I’d love to build on that.

As I don’t have a scientific or IT background, I appreciate the fact that I can gradually understand and master the technical aspects of the sector and its vocabulary. It’s gratifying to see our partners satisfied, and to know that we’ve played a key role in the success of their projects.

What prompted you to choose this career path?

What prompted me to choose this career path was my desire to continue contributing to the healthcare field in a different way.

As an information systems validation consultant, I enjoy the opportunity to work on a variety of projects covering a broad spectrum of healthcare fields, such as clinical care, data management and medical research.

Jt’s rewarding to contribute to the implementation of efficient, reliable and, above all, regulatory-compliant IT solutions that meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients alike.

How does the company develop its employees’ careers?

At Evalu, we can easily express our training needs and quickly upgrade our skills. We are very much on our own, which means we can work and progress at our own pace, while always having someone on the team to answer our questions and help us if we need it.

Since joining Evalu, I feel I’ve learned a lot about computerized systems validation, as I’ve been lucky enough to have direct assignments with customers. This enabled me to get to the heart of the matter and improve quickly, which is a big advantage at the start of a career, as it gives you confidence in your skills and the desire to progress even further.
