Our team
The Shift is managed daily by a salaried team of around ten people, including Matthieu Auzanneau as director. President Jean-Marc Jancovici and the Board oversee activities, while project managers lead the working groups. The think tank benefits from the support of volunteers who have formed an independent association : The Shifters.
