About us

I have always paid a specific attention to the persons I work with. Whether they are in my direct or indirect team, whether we are located under the same roof or on the other side of the planet. These virtual borders have never interested me as I firmly believe team management cannot be defined by these.

My 24 years of operational leadership – of which 14 were abroad – have brought me pleasure and proudness. Whether it was in a corporate environment, in a non-for-profit organization or within the United Nations, I have constantly built my knowledge on human beings facing life crucibles, facing change, wanted or imposed but nowadays constant. My endless thirst to learn about leadership was nourished academically by a DESCAF at ESCEM, France, a MBA at Lehigh University, USA, a short program at Colombia University, USA, on the advanced leadership for women and lastly an executive master on Coaching and Consulting for Change at INSEAD, France, with a focus on change at the individual and organizational level through psychodynamic processes.

This last opus led to the creation of Alfalfaz, cofounded with Olivier Guerinault, with the objective to offer consulting with a double competence – operational management and authentic leadership – under one unique roof through three compatible forms – coaching, consulting and conferences.

My thirst to discover, learn and share guides my day. The development of my teams and their knowledge has always been a priority for me and part of their success. This willingness to share does not limit itself to my direct team and reaches the entire ecosystem.

My 20+ year path in the pharmaceutical industry has provided me with a solid expertise in leading strategic projects, encompassing organizational transformations, design of distribution networks, acquiring and integrating new activities or divesting entire portfolios. These transformations were global in nature with remote team and international stakeholder management. Fueling my thirst of discovery, I have recently worked with the United Nations as a Supply Chain expert while also collaborating on humanitarian missions as an Executive in residence at the French business school INSEAD. These experiences have been extremely rewarding especially when on the ground in Rwanda to help this country grow.

This endless thirst for learning and developing myself has led me more recently to the other French Business school, HEC, to gain an executive master in the management of a strategic unit.

I am particularly passionate about the following areas : strategic analysis, business model transformation, organizational design, innovation and digital business strategy, talent development and change management.
