Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With over 6 years of operational management experience in the luxury sector, I support companies that require rigorous and effective organizational support, without the constraints of a permanent position.

My daily work involves managing complex projects, handling demanding client relationships, producing clear and structured reports, and ensuring professional communication in both French and English.

Before moving into operational management, I worked for internationally renowned fashion houses (Céline, Elie Saab, Vivienne Westwood), which taught me the importance of high standards, precision, and managing multiple priorities.

I offer ad-hoc or recurring remote missions, ideally 5 to 10 hours per week: project management, professional writing, Excel dashboards, coordination, and operational follow-up.

Available quickly. Bilingual French/English.
