Workplace Consultant
CONSULTING AND AUDITS
February 2024 - Today (2 years and 4 months)
Nantes, France
The work environment, its codes, and its perception have fascinated me for 15 years: once a simple office housing a company's activities, it has in recent years become the catalyst for corporate strategy and culture. Recognized since Covid as a true integration accelerator, the work environment embodies the company's values and identity.

As a manager in a consulting firm in La Défense, I successively experienced different work methods in constantly evolving offices. Both responsible for international real estate projects and a user of these spaces, I developed my expertise in topics such as flex-office, new ways of working, open space, etc.

Today, as a strategic and operational consultant in workspace, I work with company leaders, HR and Purchasing departments. I assist them in defining places and spaces (integrating their work methods into places and workspaces), their service models for occupants and the building, and in developing their real estate operating tenders and selecting their service providers.
