Creating a sustainable world
Fabienne Herlaut (MBA 1984) is founder and managing partner of Ecomobilité Ventures, a €25 million multi-corporate fund committed to green mobility. Herlaut, who in fall of 2014 received the French National Order of Merit for her support of ecologically minded businesses, says the challenging nature of the work fuels her.
“I like to create, and I like to do things that are relatively unusual and sometimes difficult to deliver.”
The reward is in the results, which have taken the form of support for Ouicar, a French car-sharing business, and Ridepal, a San Francisco–based company that provides real-time, shared bus services for workers whose employees pay monthly subscriptions for the service.
“I especially find it rewarding as these emerging companies develop projects that, in the long run, will contribute to a better world for the coming generation; they all want to do more and do better with less,” she says. “Their creativity is amazing and it is just a privilege to support them in the best possible way.”
