About

Starting with an engineering degree, I have rolled out my career in the Food and Cosmetics industries. My diversified curriculum embraces the private and public sectors as well as services to the industry. The journey has led me to a CEO / General Manager function in Sweden. My experiences cover a wide range of activities in international and multicultural environnements, including New Product Development, industrial operations, global supply chain issues, commercial operations and strategy. Presently Transition Manager specialized in Business transformation and development, reorganizations and restructuring, I'm looking for new partnerships and opportunities, in France or abroad, to share my experiences and learn from new challenges.
