About Sarah

International Project & Operations Manager, specializing in the coordination of complex international projects and operations.
I work with large groups, scale-ups, and international organizations in multi-stakeholder, multicultural environments with high operational stakes — where structuring, coordinating, and driving progress makes all the difference.
My background combines international project management, operations, organizational transformation, and client relations in demanding sectors: energy, public sector, B2B services, legal.

What I bring to a project:

  • End-to-end international project and program management (roadmap, prioritization, monitoring)
  • Structuring and improving operations and processes
  • Stakeholder management and coordination of multicultural stakeholders
  • Change management
  • Multi-country and multi-site international coordination
  • Sensitive project management, compliance, and confidentiality (GDPR)
  • Localization and linguistic coordination (French, English, Portuguese, Chinese)

Accustomed to demanding and constantly evolving environments, I bring structure, reliability, and operational clarity with a results-oriented approach rather than a method-for-method's-sake.

My goal: transform complex environments into clear, structured, and efficient projects and operations.
