Catherine Testa is a part of the generation of committed entrepreneurs. After working for ten years in the fields of digital and sustainable development, she founded L’Optimisme.com, the first website to promote positive initiatives in France : “the societal change imposed by these two revolutions will inevitably involve individual engagement and we must show everyone that we can act!”. The website turned out to be an immediate success: more than 1 million people followed the initiative on various social media networks.
She was soon called upon by Companies to tackle the delicate subject of welfare in the workplace. She founded L’Optimisme.pro,a media and network of companies that are committed to their employees but also to fundamental societal issues. To date, more than 250 companies have put their trust in her.
She has become a reference on these subjects. In 2017, 2018 & 2019, she is among the most influential personalities in France according to LinkedIn!
Catherine Testa is also an author. The books “Osez l’Optimisme!” and “Oser être soi… même au travail” are both best-sellers published by Editions Michel Lafon. Her latest book Synchronicité, published by Editions Michel Lafon in November 2021, is different from other works … Rather than imposing a glance on society, Catherine offers texts “which can come at the right time”.
From Paris to New York where she lived, she now travels the world to speak at conferences and webinars on the notion of optimism in companies and in the society.
During the health crisis, she underlined her commitment by speaking at numerous digital events such as the “Académie du Monde d’Après” along with Marion Cotillard, Juliette Binoche, JeanMarc Jancovici and Aurélien Barreau. She has also published poems that have been read more than 10 million times and shared by many artists…
And the adventure is just starting.
