Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Sophie
10 years at the head of the commercial and operational development of an industrial SME. I know what it takes to build a commercial strategy, manage a team, open export markets, and bring a service back to performance, because I've done it.
I intervene quickly, without any warm-up time, on concrete missions: structuring a sales force, deploying a CRM, developing a new market, taking over a struggling sales department.
Above all, a woman of the field, I deeply believe that commercial performance is built with the teams, not above them. Human interaction, trust, and team spirit are at the heart of my way of working.
Available in Yvelines (78), Île-de-France, and willing to travel.
