With over 20 years of experience spanning strategy, transformation, finance, and HR, I am passionate about driving sustainable business growth through people-centric leadership. My role encompasses shaping the employee and workplace experience, overseeing general services, and spearheading large-scale transformation initiatives that align HR with evolving business objectives. I have a proven track record of delivering measurable results in complex environments, including successful M&A integrations, cost optimization, and cultural change programs. I believe that the future of business success lies in evolving skills, fostering diversity, and cultivating deep employee engagement. By championing innovation, collaboration, and performance, I help Orange Business navigate change while empowering our global teams to thrive. As a member of the Executive Committee, I lead HR digitalization efforts and organizational transformation to enhance agility and operational excellence. Beyond my corporate role, I am a board member / strategic advisor of an international IT Services company, an entrepreneur and private equity investor with interests in real estate and veterinary services, bringing a broad perspective to leadership and governance. I am open to new challenges and board opportunities where I can contribute my international expertise, strategic vision, and human-centered approach to drive lasting impact.
