Biography
After graduating with her Master's degree from Skema, Donatienne Delorme spent about fifteen years holding managerial responsibilities within SMEs and international groups, acquiring solid experience in business and corporate management. Strongly rooted in practical ground-level reality, she chose to enter academia in 2011 and defended her PhD in 2019 at Nantes University IAE. She joined Excelia Business School in 2022 as Head of the Strategy, Entrepreneurship, CSR, and Economics Department.
Now an Associate Professor, her research focuses on territorial, multi-actor, and multi-level collaborative dynamics, with a particular emphasis on the role of proximities in organizing collective action. She notably explores ecosystems (innovation, business, or entrepreneurial) and business model transformations in the context of transitions. As a member of several academic networks in strategic management and entrepreneurship (AIMS, EURAM, EGOS…), she actively contributes to the advancement of research and pedagogy through publications and presentations at conferences in France and internationally.
