About

“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does” (James M.Barrie) Driven by a strong value creation mindset, I like to put my energy on achieving goals and challenges. Especially when that implies moving out my comfort zone, facing a more uncertain and complex environment. I can rely on my strategic skills and leadership to quickly understand its critical business stakes and interpersonal dynamics. Managing a multi-functional project, by bringing people together around a common vision and providing them the right support to go through changes, is always a great adventure.
