EBAbout Elsa
For 12 years, I have been passionate about human resources, convinced that the true driver of a company's success lies in the PEOPLE who make it up.
My role in HR allows me to support organizations by creating work environments tailored to their challenges: hypergrowth, restructuring, mergers, and acquisitions.
I enjoy tackling these strategic challenges by structuring HR policies and processes that align with both the company’s needs and those of its employees.
