About Caroline

Have you been postponing certain decisions for weeks?
Your managers keep bringing up the same problems?
You spend too much time on people-related issues?

I step in within days to clarify, decide, and regain control of the situation. I integrate AI tools to accelerate analysis and ensure reliable decisions, without complicating your organization.

As your company's HR Director, you will have a clear vision of the decisions to make and avoid repeating HR mistakes.

1. A subject has been dragging on for too long (2 to 5 days)
Conflict, struggling manager, postponed decision
  • Targeted interviews
  • Quick analysis (supported by AI if useful)
  • Concrete decisions to be made immediately
Result: You decide and stop wasting time

2. You need to make a sensitive HR decision (2 to 5 days)
Termination, risky situation, gray area
  • Quick framing of the situation
  • Decision scenarios + risk levels
  • Security (legal + operational)
Result: You decide quickly, without unnecessary exposure

3. Your organization is starting to slow down (1 to 4 days/month)
Too many mistakes, overwhelmed managers, unclear roles
  • Direct work with you on key decisions
  • Simplification of the organization
  • Support for struggling managers
  • Targeted use of AI to save time
Result: Less friction, faster decisions, a stable organization

I use AI to:
  • Analyze complex situations faster
  • Structure decisions
  • Produce clear materials (reprimands, organization, communication)
  • Avoid oversights or blind spots
Result: You save time and make decisions with greater perspective

"We were going in circles on issues that were starting to impact the company. In a few days, Caroline provided a clear diagnosis and helped us make decisions we had been postponing for months. It was a real turning point for the company."

Experience

  • Cabinet ACACIA
    Part-time HR Director for SMEs
    HUMAN RESOURCES
    January 2022 - Today (4 years and 7 months)
    Bordeaux, France
    Organizational and decision-making support for leaders of SMEs who wish to secure their HR and organizational decisions in the long term, without solely handling sensitive or structuring issues.

    My role is to oversee the HR dimension of the company and be present at key decision points: organization, management, recruitment, team development, risky individual situations.

    The support is based on a recurring framework, integrated into the company's management:
    - Regular meetings with the leader to identify upcoming decisions,
    - Decision support: clarification of options, assessment of human, organizational, and legal impacts,
    - Arbitration and prioritization
    - Operational security for the implementation of decisions made (announcements, managerial support, field adjustments).

    This reinforcement helps to correct the effects of past decisions made under pressure, avoid forced decisions, and serenely manage HR in the long term.

    Expected results:
    - Consistent and better-owned HR decisions,
    - Reduction of internal tensions related to previous poor decisions,
    - More transparent and stable organization.

    Format:
    Recurring mission over 6 to 12 months, part-time, with increased presence during sensitive decision-making phases.

  • CTP GUYENNE
    Vice President
    CIVIC AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS
    September 2021 - Today (4 years and 11 months)
    Bordeaux, France
    In my role as Vice President, I contribute to the development and implementation of shared time as a relevant intervention method for SME leaders.

    My role consists of:
    - Supporting executives and leaders in building and securing their professional activity on a shared time basis,
    - Raising awareness among and supporting local business leaders in integrating shared time skills in line with their needs
    - Facilitating qualified meetings between leaders and experts, around concrete situations experienced by companies.

    This volunteer role keeps me in constant contact with leaders facing structuring decisions, often made under pressure, and with professionals working directly within companies.

    This associative function also enriches my practice as a part-time HR Director, by strengthening my understanding of leaders' expectations and decision-making levers adapted to SMEs.

  • Allianz
    Assistant HR Director
    BANKING AND INSURANCE
    March 2001 - April 2021 (20 years and 2 months)
    Paris, France
    I held several operational and then HR positions within this large group, before undertaking a role as Assistant HR Director for a national scope.

    In this last role, I was responsible for a population of 2,300 employees, executives and non-executives, administrative and commercial functions, spread across several sites.

    I worked in a multi-stakeholder environment, with significant coordination, decision-making, and operational implementation challenges:
    - I was involved in structuring decisions impacting the organization and teams,
    - I supported managers and management in complex human arbitration,

    - I secured the operational rollout of decisions made, in a constrained and multi-site context.

    I also managed a national remote HR team, with a constant challenge of alignment, prioritization, and consistency of practices across the entire scope.

    This experience allowed me to develop a pragmatic approach to the HR function and the ability to decide and enable decision-making in complex environments.
