  -The best way to create the future is to create it-

Search for projects that draw on the experience of various environnements in order to provide innovative solutions to resolve broad issues and integrate CSR constraints/opportunities from eco-design to employee training/retention.

These projects can also lead to necessary reorganizations (production tools and organizations) as part of spin-offs of large groups or mergers/acquisitions of companies in France or abroad (external growth or takeover by a fund).

Aware of the importance of Excellence in Execution in project management, I like to practice helicopter vision to both take the sometimes necessary step back and then explain and get the teams to buy into the projects

Consistency in my approach: customer satisfaction while respecting the positioning and strategic axes of the company and of course its employees who should be considered with kindness detached from any complacency.

CSR specifics : 

Eco-design and permanent awareness of the environmental impact of the employees favouring a leading by example management style.

Ensure a good understanding of transformation by the men and women of the organisations by giving a meaning to all  the actions carried out.
