Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With over 10 years of experience in finance departments, I support companies in their transformation projects, their ad-hoc challenges, and the strengthening of their control systems.

As a former Director of Internal Audit and Control, I worked closely with Executive Committees and Audit Committees on complex, strategically important projects. My experience at EY allowed me to work in various environments: listed groups (France/US), LBO contexts, SMEs, and mid-cap companies.
