Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After nearly 9 years structuring and supporting Malt's hyper-growth as Chief People Officer / VP People, I now bring my expertise to companies undergoing significant evolution/transformation. My conviction is simple: a company's success relies on its ability to recruit the best, engage them, and help them grow.

I currently undertake two complementary types of missions:

• Interim HRD missions, to support companies through key phases (growth, structuring, transformation, crisis) with a rapid grasp of people and organizational challenges.

• Team and leadership workshops and seminars, to strengthen cohesion, foster strong collective dynamics, and develop effective and sustainable management practices.

As a member of the executive team, I led the global HR strategy to support the company's hyper-growth, scaling from around thirty employees to over 600 Malters. I structured and managed the Talent Acquisition, L&D (Learning & Development), Culture, Communication, and Workplace teams across 9 countries.

Structuring & Scale
- Talent Acquisition & Growth: Managed large-scale recruitment to support international expansion and major funding rounds (raised $200 million with Isai, Serena, Eurazeo, Goldman Sachs, and BPI).
- Talent Management & Development: Created HR frameworks from scratch: salary grids, career paths, objective setting, performance reviews, peer feedback, and manager training programs.
- M&A & Strategic Integration: Led the HR aspect of the Comatch acquisition (organizational due diligence, process harmonization, and team cultural integration).

Culture & Engagement
- Cultural Anchoring: Defined, deployed, and managed our 4 company culture pillars.
- Events & Facilitation: Led global company-wide events (All Hands, seminars...) and designed custom workshops (team workshops, leadership training) to unite and align all employees.
- Engagement: Implemented strategic actions to ensure every employee understands and lives this culture daily, contributing to Malt being recognized as one of the best startups to work for by LinkedIn.
