With more than 15 years of experience in the fashion luxury industry, I am a seasoned HR Director and an Executive Coach (HEC Paris). My core competencies include global HR management, organizational development, HR & payroll budget management and ensuring a good social dialogue with employee representatives. I have successfully led the HR strategy and team for three iconic brands: Jean-Paul Gaultier, Nina Ricci, and Rabanne, reporting to the HRD Fashion & Beauty and the brands' Managing Directors. I have also supported the HR strategy for Maje, a leading contemporary brand with 224 stores across Europe. As a HR director and Executive Coach, I have empowered and challenged managers and leaders to enhance their performance, skills, and well-being. My mission is to foster a culture of excellence, diversity, and innovation in the fashion luxury sector.
