About Philbert
- MASTERY of all hierarchical levels: My professional journey began at 19 as a line worker after leaving the traditional school system before high school. At 39, through evening classes, I earned an engineering degree in organization. Subsequently, I held the position of competitiveness director for a leading European automotive industry subcontractor in Vendée, before founding and developing several engineering and training companies in the Nantes region.
- TRANSFORMATION of companies by shaping individuals: Throughout this journey, I had the privilege of transforming dozens of companies, bringing them strategies and innovations to foster their growth and sustainable success. My commitment to human development has translated into unlocking the potential of hundreds of employees, helping them discover and harness their hidden talents. Furthermore, I have contributed to the education of thousands of people, offering valuable insights for their professional and personal development.
- Collective EXCELLENCE and individual improvement: I played a key role in the rise of the company where I was competitiveness director, propelling it to become a national laureate in management excellence. Personally, I have been recognized with several awards acknowledging my commitment to continuous progress, including the lifelong learning trophy, the medal of progress, the Golden Person 2024 award, and obtaining a doctorate at the age of 59 from the University of California FCE.
