Experience & Background

Corinne Avelines is a senior leader with 25 years of international experience at the heart of Business and Technology. She holds an MSc from ENST Bretagne and an MBA degree from IMD (2009).

She is Strategy Management Consultant at Kinetic Consulting Ltd. Previously, she’s former CEO of SIBIUS, a health tech startup in mental health aiming at early detection of cognitive disorders for children (autism, ADD, DYS disorders) and seniors (e.g. dementia, Alzheimer’s) leveraging Artificial Intelligence and patented technologies.

Avelines, who lives near Geneva, serves on the board of directors at Spadel, a listed mineral water company in Belgium, and Transdev NL, a leading public transportation operator in the Netherlands.

Previously, she served as Chief Digital Officer for TomTom (consumer electronics), JDE (coffee and tea), and AkzoNobel (paints & coatings). Earlier in her career, she served as COO for an ecommerce pure player, Voyages-sncf.com (now SNCF-connect) and Engagement Director for IT consulting companies in France and the UK.

After nearly a decade as Chief Digital Officer for large corporates, Avelines decided to create impact in smaller and innovative companies, joining first Innit (foodtech based in California), then myTomorrows (Dutch healthtech) and more recently SIBIUS.

As a result, she developed her executive experience in various industries (healthcare, FMCG, food & beverage, consumer electronics, travel and tourism, IT consulting, etc.), and leading cross-functional – business, technology, and operations – teams located in multiple geographies such as the US, Europe and India.
