About

During my whole career, I challenged and I am actually challenging myself in very different contexts and businesses. The focus has been very various, from rightsizing to fast growth on FTE, from career path for High Potential to hard negotiations with Unions, from technicians (like car engineers) to creative (like fashion stilist) and so on ... I allways played my role trying to find the opportunity behind the problem and this is the reason I really enjoy it!!!
