20 years of HR expertise, in international contexts of reorganization, deadlock situations and strong union tensions, and the implementation of real HR structures.
With over 20 years of experience and know-how in both the industrial sector and customer relations; services; transport and others, I have been able to develop and implement, with the support of a team, management focused on performance and results.
A hands-on and proactive individual, I am committed daily to ensuring efficient organization and the smooth running of services in compliance with company strategy.
