JULIE DE LA SABLIÈRE

Founder and president

Faced with the climate emergency, companies must be in a position to provide a response that is as quick as it is substantial. Based on this conviction, Julie de La Sablière created Little Wing in 2012. Julie, as a specialist advisor to business leaders, knows that they need to cultivate and deploy their vision towards the challenges of transition. Little Wing helps them transform their organizations with innovative and effective solutions, adapted to the characteristics of their sector.

Julie’s commitment: never be satisfied with ready-made answers, even if it means shaking up her clients to better inspire them. This is why she surrounds herself with complementary personalities who have varied expertise and quickly grants them autonomy and responsibility. Her warmth, optimism and commitment have helped bolster Little Wing’s reputation as a great place to work.

JULIE BUSSON

Consulting director

Complex issues and varied topics. That’s all it takes to make Julie want to come to the office. She discovered crisis communication and risk prevention during an internship at Danone for her Master’s degree in communication at Audencia. She perfected her skills in this discipline over four years at Fleishman Hillard, working for clients in the financial, pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic industries. Her ease of rapport and her responsiveness helped her to build privileged relationships with many media representatives.

Julie joined Little Wing in March 2018, attracted by the firm’s innovative methods and seduced by the idea of helping prestigious clients succeed through transformation. Today, she collaborates with BCG, France Assureurs, Qare, Inverto, Onet, Up and the Paris Peace Forum.

CHARLES NICOLAS

Director

At the Institut Montaigne, where he was Deputy Director, and at Sciences Po, where he was in charge of the executive training program within the School of Public Affairs, Charles recognized the virtues of collaboration between public, private and academic actors. But he also noticed how this dialogue still largely overshadows the ecological transition.

This is why he chose to go into consulting, to help make business leaders aware of how much their economic models depend on social and environmental issues. Charles is convinced that making businesses sustainable requires a commitment to working better with their ecosystems and among all of society’s stakeholders.

He joined Little Wing in 2020 to act on this conviction. A wilderness enthusiast who would have liked to be a mountain guide in another life, Charles lives this job as a personal commitment to the emergency our world is faced with.

LOUIS VIDAL

Consulting director

A graduate of a Master’s in Public Affairs from Sciences Po Paris, Louis quickly became familiar with the hustle and bustle of daily life in ministerial cabinets, at the Ministry of Health for example. But it was when he started working in the private sector, working for LITA.co, a platform for financing impact projects, that he really developed his skills of institutional relations, advocacy and corporate communications – as well as his sensitivity to environmental issues. His strength? An innate ability to put people at ease. And, when the opportunity arises, a certain talent for playing the Aranjuez concerto on guitar.

NATALIE RASTOIN

Senior advisor

Natalie is one of France’s leading brand specialists. She imported strategic planning to France and is a former director of the Ogilvy Group. Today, through her consulting firm Polytane, she helps brands define their distinctive image and positioning. These have become message senders in their own right, so reflecting on their impact is essential to good corporate communication. This is why Julie de la Sablière entrusted Natalie with the role of Senior Advisor to Little Wing in January 2021. Both women share the same attachment to defending the environment.

Born in Marseille, Natalie has fought all her life for the protection and promotion of the Cassis coves. She is on the Board of Directors of the Camargo Foundation, the Parrot company, and the Institut Montaigne.

KILLIAN MONTESQUIEU

Confirmed consultant

Killian likes his challenges to come in bunches. Originally from Nice, this news hound set up, at the age of 21, le Central Hub, a local, participative site that aimed to pull young people toward the world of public affairs. Later, he went for a master’s degree in Communication, Media and Creative Industries at Sciences-Po Paris to complete his training.

After a first internship in a ministerial office, he met Julie de la Sablière and joined Little Wing in a work-study program as a consultant to help companies carry out their sustainable transformation. Killian is committed to his clients (BCG, La Banque Postale and Qare), but also to the causes that are important to him. For the past 7 years, he has helped build Le Refuge, a foundation dedicated to preventing isolation and suicide among LGBTQ+ youth. He is now the deputy delegate for Paris.

MATTHIEU SCHERRER

Editorial consultant

“Whatever is well conceived is clearly said, and the words to say it flow with ease.” As a fervent disciple of Nicolas Boileau, Matthieu tracks down anglicisms, language tics, abuse of managerial newspeak and other empty formulations. He loves nothing more than to make complex subjects simple, understandable, and lively. This editorial consultant lived his first life as a journalist in the magazine industry. He was a director at Management and 01Net and was part of the management team of L’Express.

After a long history of helping the general public understand the corporate world, he left journalism in 2019 to help companies get their audiences to understand them. He has regularly lent his pen to Little Wing since 2021.

ISABELLE RIOU

Office & production manager

From conception through layout and distribution, print production requires constant attention to detail. At Harrison&Wolf (where she first met Julie de la Sablière), and then at Wands, Isabelle has years of experience overseeing the production of in-house magazines for major players in the banking, energy and air transport industries — to go with her skills in advertising production and retail communication. Since June 2022, she has put her unparalleled organizational skills to work for Little Wing, where she now manages all administrative aspects. This Grenoble native, whose smile is never more radiant than when she’s ripping down a ski slope, chose to join the firm for the convictions she shares with its members and the meaning it gives to her professional life.

ANTOINE LARA

Consulting director

Antoine is a Sciences Po graduate in communication and international security who speaks five languages fluently — or nearly so. A former student of the Cours Florent drama school, he gives public speaking lessons in his spare time. Antoine is an avid volleyball player and referees matches for the French University Sports Federation. His career path has been as rich and demanding as his education and sporting life. Antoine has worked for BETC, L’Oréal, Taddeo and DGM Conseil, where, before joining Little Wing, he honed his skills designing and implementing communications strategies for clients including Danone, Deepki and Axa. His sense of humor is sharp, and his opinions clear-cut. Speaking of sharp, did we mention that he is a black belt in chanbara, the Japanese martial art that inspired the lightsaber battles in Star Wars?

CAMILLE REULET

Consultant

Curiosity may have killed the cat — but for Camille, it is all about more. She has always sought to study more subjects, work on more creative projects, and nurture more professional contacts. She completed a double degree in law and political science at Sorbonne University, along with an MBA in public communications and influence from EFAP. She worked as a consultant with the NoCom and Proches agencies before joining Little Wing in November 2024. A Bordeaux native, Camille is passionate about the ecological transition. And on these topics, she acts as she does on the volleyball court, her favorite sport—playing as a team and moving up to the net.
