About

Directrice de la Communication avec plus de vingt ans d’expérience, je pilote aujourd’hui la stratégie globale de communication de Saint-Gobain. Avec une équipe de trente collaborateurs, je définis et mets en œuvre une communication corporate, interne, digitale et de gestion de crise alignée à la stratégie du Groupe, afin de renforcer sa réputation et d’engager durablement ses parties prenantes. Mon parcours m’a conduite de Total et Air France à Tarkett, puis à Imerys où j’ai repositionné la communication comme un véritable partenaire stratégique de la transformation et du développement international. Je crois profondément que la communication, lorsqu’elle est claire et cohérente, constitue un levier de performance, de culture et d’innovation. Mon ambition ? Concevoir et déployer des messages qui rassemblent, inspirent et donnent du sens.
