Description

Interim HR Director & Strategic Consulting | Operational Performance | Finance × HR

For 20 years, I have been supporting organizations in reconciling sustainable operational performance with human excellence: M&A at KPMG, co-founder and CFO/HR Director of a medtech startup, HR Director of a group of 250 people in 7 countries.

I undertake one-off or part-time assignments to unlock operational performance through the human lever: EXCOM governance, managerial inertia, scaling phases, restructuring.

My strength lies in understanding complex situations and analyzing human aspects with finesse, while remaining pragmatic and operationally focused.

I can engage with multicultural teams in large international groups as well as in French industrial SMEs or Tech startups. I have extensive knowledge of the financial sector, where I have been active for over 10 years. This chameleon-like ability has allowed me to learn from all environments and adapt precisely to the needs and key challenges of my clients.

Whatever tools I use, my promise is to provide you with a concrete, targeted, and effective solution that respects your operational objectives and your people.

If we work together, it is because we share the conviction that sustainable performance, excellence, commitment, and success are not achieved at the expense of people, but by leveraging their power.
