Gabriel Fedida Appy, CEO NOVRISK.
Founding Chairman STELLISK. · CEO NOVRISK.

Gabriel Fedida Appy

A career spanning frontline operations and governance: hospital emergency services, military service and rescue services, complemented by university training in Paris — Panthéon-Sorbonne, Dauphine-PSL, Panthéon-Assas — in risk and crisis management, public policy, command, and homeland security. This dual experience, both human and strategic, is the foundation of a hybrid, rigorous approach to decision-making in crisis situations.

A volunteer firefighter with the Bouches-du-Rhône fire brigade and then a reservist with the French armed forces medical corps, he studied alongside those commitments, at Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris Dauphine-PSL, Paris II Panthéon-Assas and the University of Lorraine. He has held positions within specialized consultancies and public bodies dedicated to crisis preparedness and management. It was out of that path that STELLISK. was born, with the ambition of equipping organizations and territories where they make their decisions.

Virginie Tisserant

A consultant in economic and political intelligence, she has held strategic and operational roles in the media as editor-in-chief, within public and political institutions in communication and influence, and alongside elected officials as an aide. Holding a doctorate in contemporary history and a specialist in crises and political risk, she co-founded ELISK. to prepare elected officials and public actors for decision-making in complex environments.

Holding two master's degrees — in political science from Sciences Po Aix-en-Provence and in humanities from Aix-Marseille University — her work focuses on the crisis of democracy and new forms of political engagement. A recognized expert in France and internationally, she regularly speaks at universities and in the media, and consults for public and private organizations.

Partner STELLISK. · Senior Advisor

Pierre Pillet

More than thirty-five years in civil protection and in private companies, between operational commitment, management and strategy, extended by military and reserve service. Alongside public, institutional and private actors, he has built a sure reading of complex situations and the ability to rally people around shared objectives. From that comes a pragmatic and human approach to strategic and organizational issues.

A graduate with an MBA in business management and a master's in management in the digital age, he has held senior roles in strategy, development and institutional relations. Since 2021 he has worked to bring employers and the French National Guard closer together, helping companies, public administrations and defense stakeholders work side by side.
