Born in Paris, France, I built my reputation for strong customer focus, reliability, and flawless delivery during the course of my 35+ years professional career.
My expertise covers the fields of employee development, organizational change, operations and management consulting in the hospitality, oil & gas/energy, and engineering industries, across the globe.

Over a decade of working for Royal Dutch Shell, I became a recognized subject matter expert in the field of Learning & Development -L&D- operations, learning facilities and services design as well as the design and delivery of large corporate events.
