Ophelie Derlon
Bio
Co-founder and president of Éditions Reconnaissance since 2023, Ophélie Derlon represents a new generation of publishers at the crossroads of public action and intellectual inquiry. Her career path is marked by deep immersion at the heart of French decision-making centers. She notably served as a strategic communications advisor within the majority group at the National Assembly, before joining the High Commission for Planning as a project officer to the general rapporteur of the Conseil National de la Refondation (CNR).
This expertise in long-term challenges and societal dynamics was complemented by a foray into the innovation ecosystem as Research Manager at daphni, a leading venture capital fund. This hybrid profile, combining the rigor of strategic planning with the agility of the tech world, now fuels her vision for publishing. With Éditions Reconnaissance, Ophélie Derlon's mission is to restore depth to the marketplace of ideas, publishing works that question the structures of our contemporary world and the challenges of tomorrow, affirming her role as a committed bridge-builder of ideas.
