My commitment is to permanently embed the transformation of finance professions. It is based on projecting target business processes and operational situations at risk, in order to define the actions to be implemented to secure data quality, accounting and financial production, as well as compliance. I also intervene within your teams to support the evolution of managerial postures towards the manager-coach, and to support teams in their new work environments. This approach is part of a global change approach, based on organizational coaching, in service of operational performance and the sustainable engagement of teams.
