Amel Rigneau

Entrepreneur, venture builder, and international growth advisor with 20+ years of experience helping startups, scaleups, and corporates turn innovation into measurable business outcomes. I bring a dual perspective as both a founder and a corporate innovation leader: I co-founded and scaled a mobile entertainment venture from 10,000 to 1M subscribers across Asia before a successful exit, and later served as Head Open Innovation APAC for CMA CGM (logistics & shipping company).

Across my career, I have built and commercialized new offers, launched partnerships, opened strategic doors, and developed innovation ecosystems that convert ideas into revenue, pilots, and scalable growth. My experience spans venture building, open innovation, APAC market entry, strategic partnerships, and commercialization, with particular relevance in supply chain, sustainability, digital transformation, and emerging technologies.

I am particularly well suited to support founders and leadership teams looking to expand in Asia, access corporate partners, refine growth strategy, build innovation-led go-to-market approaches, and translate ambition into commercial traction
