Charlotte Hochman’s expertise is in developing tools and projects to catalyse people's capacity to innovate and create start-ups in response to global challenges. She has collaborated across sectors to build enabling environments for innovation and entrepreneurship, namely with the public sector (US State Department, City of Paris, Région Ile-de-France), corporate companies (Generali, Danone, GDF-Suez, Arthur Andersen), non-profits and universities (INSEAD, HEC, École Normale Supérieure).

She graduated with a First from Oxford University (Philosophy) and gained a Masters with Distinction from the University of London, School of Oriental and African Studies.
