Get to know Romain, Global Innovation Manager for Leaf, in his portrait
- What is your education background?
Fromanger: “I am a Biochemical Engineer, I graduated from INSA Toulouse (National Institute of Applied Sciences), France. There,I did my Ph.D on Fuel Ethanol Production using C5 Sugars in Lignocellulosic Substrates (Ethanol 2G).”
- Can you tell us more about your first day at Leaf?
Fromanger: “My first day was in 2014. I remember that my Manager and the Business Unit General Manager welcomed me in such a warm way it felt like arriving in a family! If I am correct, I think we went on a business trip immediately or the day after… I was very quickly in contact with customers, which I really liked!”
- What are you most proud of?
Fromanger: “I am proud of my work on 2G Ethanol performed during my Ph.D as I was able to scientifically contribute to this huge subject that is renewable energy. And, I am very proud of my daughter Gabrielle. She is learning something new every day and I think that learning is something wonderful that we should never stop doing!”
- How do you spend you free time?
Fromanger: “I like sports, especially fitness and hiking. But living in Lille, France – a very flat region – I practice fitness a lot more than hiking! I also spend a lot of time with my family, which is the most important thing for me. And, when I am not doing one or the other, I like travelling and discovering new places and different cultures.”
