About

Avec plus d'une décennie d'expérience en gestion, je dirige actuellement les opérations chez Medi-Market Group, où le management stratégique et l'optimisation des processus d'affaires sont au cœur de mes responsabilités. Notre équipe a développé un concept de magasin novateur qui a redéfini l'expérience client dans le secteur de la santé et du bien-être. Chez G&V Energy Group, en tant que Directeur des Opérations pour le secteur alimentaire, j'ai eu l'honneur de superviser 27 magasins et une équipe de près de 300 personnes. Aujourd'hui, je mets en œuvre cette expertise en gestion des performances et en excellence opérationnelle pour renforcer la position de Medi-Market Group comme leader du marché.
