My professional career is like a Rubik’s cube :
3 types of education (Aeronautics engineer, Insead MBA, Executive coach certification), 3 types of positions (Sales & Marketing Executive, BU Director, Strategy & Change consultant and coach), within 3 types of environment and management culture (French, US and Japanese companies).

I can help you to take a step back before choosing or filling a new position or function, meeting a new challenge or making a difficult change decision, while maintaining the right balance and consistency across all levels of meaning.

I bring my clients a special attention to what needs to be changed or kept to be successful within their new environment or context.

One of my favourite quotes : “Happy those Execs who know how to laugh at themselves, because they will never stop having fun”
