Claire Neveux has worked for several years in racehorse breeding in France and across the world (England, Ireland, United States, South Africa). She has also been managing the family Thoroughbred breeding farm in Normandy since 2009. Following these varied experiences, she graduated from a Bachelor's degree in Physiology and cell Biology and then a Master's degree in Ethology. She quickly specialized in horse behaviour through two research projects at the French National Institute of Agronomy (in a French National stud team) "The impact of social isolation on the welfare and learning performances of the young horse" and "the study of the living conditions of the horse on its welfare". Fascinated by the challenge of infusing innovation into the horse industry, Claire Neveux has also graduated from the ESSCA's interactive "creativity and innovation" training course. The objective of her various experiences, both scientific and at the horse's side, is to bring her expertise to horse industry professionals in order to improve horse welfare, through technological innovations and consulting services. In 2011, she set up Ethonova, a scientific agency on the horse, its behaviour and its relationship with humans.

Arrived in September 2020 as a development manager for Ethonova, Charlotte is on an apprenticeship contract for two years as part of her Master's in Strategic Marketing and Business Development at Evolua Formation. For Charlotte, it was obvious to combine her passion for horses and her professional fields of activity: communication and strategic marketing. In parallel with her studies, she practices horse riding since the age of 9. Her knowledges of the equine sector as well as her technical skills to support Ethonova agency combine perfectly. Graduated from a scientific course in secondary school, Charlotte has continued her studies with a two-year technical degree in commercial units management at the Institut Saint-Lô then she completed a Bachelor Marketing Sales apprenticeship to develop her skills directly in the professional environment.

She has joined Ethonova in 2020 as part of her Master's degree. Charlotte's main missions within Ethonova are: prospecting, communication and development of the agency's strategy. She is also involved in various tasks such as customer relations, bibliographic research and she participates in the organization and realization of the agency scientific projects.
