About Hélène

After a career in business as an operational manager in management control and accounting, I led finance function transformation projects by leveraging my business experience and my engineering degree in Supply Chain.
I have developed expertise in the implementation and optimization of Shared Service Centers (SSC), the complete Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process, and the digitalization of the finance function, particularly with the implementation of electronic invoicing.
I am available to provide support on transformation projects or for interim management assignments.
