Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Gabrielle
I support beauty and luxury brands in managing their financial performance and structuring their growth.
With 12 years of experience in management control in the cosmetics industry, I work on key issues: product profitability, pricing, channel performance (retail & e-commerce), and investment optimization.
My approach is resolutely business-oriented: transforming financial data into concrete decisions to improve margins and accelerate profitable growth.
I also have expertise in gemology, which allows me to have a fine understanding of products in the jewelry and luxury sectors.
I act as a Fractional CFO or Finance/Growth Business Partner for growing, structuring, or accelerating brands, depending on their needs, with flexible formats adapted to each situation:
- Profitability & Performance Diagnosis: Analysis of margins, products, and channels to quickly identify priority optimization levers
- Pricing & Product Mix Optimization: Strategic review of pricing positioning and product portfolio to improve profitability and support growth.
- Fractional CFO Support:
Monthly monitoring to structure the finance function, manage performance, and support strategic decisions.
One-off missions or regular support.
