Brigitte Castanheira

I support leaders and their teams in their HR & Payroll management and administrative support - France & International. My ambition? To offer companies reliable, versatile, and tailor-made support to streamline their organization and enhance their performance.

After 24 years of experience in international industry, I have developed a fine understanding of business challenges, enriched by assignments and training in Sweden, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. This multicultural immersion has given me a global vision, adaptability, and a sense of operational efficiency.

In 2024, I chose to redirect my career by consolidating my skills in Human Resources and payroll. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Law, Economics, and Management – HR/Payroll specialization, supplemented by an apprenticeship in a major automotive group. I am currently pursuing a Professional Title of Accounting Assistant to develop a dual HR/Accounting expertise. I now offer a structured service around three pillars:

👉 Dual HR-Payroll / Accounting expertise for smoother and more rigorous management.

👉 Experience in demanding and international environments, a guarantee of professionalism and responsiveness.

👉 Complementary solutions: international support, translation, technical documentation, administrative organization.

I am fluent in bilingual Portuguese, Spanish, technical English, and have some knowledge of Italian, an asset for supporting international companies.

These years have taught me that it is never too late to reinvent oneself. Each challenge has strengthened my determination to build a useful and meaningful project.

🤝 I am open to discussions with leaders, HR managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about my work.
