Tara joined the Leonard team in October 2020 and is responsible for the SEED and Intrapreneurs programmes.

After a double degree in science and social sciences at Sciences Po Paris and UPMC (Paris 6), Tara flew to Sweden where she continued to study the interactions between ecological, social and economic systems at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. In parallel to her Master’s degree in Industrial Ecology, Tara joined the KTH Hyperloop team and worked on developing partnerships for the realisation of a small-scale prototype of the Hyperloop. Her interest in the topic of sustainable cities and the evaluation of environmental impacts of innovative projects led her to write her Master’s thesis on the use of biochar as a carbon sink in urban environments.

Passionate about journalism, Tara has also contributed to writing scientific articles for the Stockholm Resilience Centre. She is fluent in French, English, Serbian and German.
