Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Transition HR Director, I intervene in organizations of all sizes, from start-ups to international groups, with a strong capacity to adapt to complex contexts and multiple collective agreements. I support companies in their sensitive phases: restructurings, HR governance, social compliance, reorganization, crisis management, and performance improvement.

I structure and professionalize HR and management teams by implementing solid and sustainable operational models. I also intervene in hypergrowth contexts to secure HR fundamentals, absorb the pace, and allow the organization to scale without losing control or quality.

I bring an operational, structured, and reliable approach, enabling rapid team stabilization, risk mitigation, and getting the organization moving again.
