Enabling people to shape their own career paths. This exciting proposition perfectly sums up my professional work. I began my own career in human relations – employee training and reconversion – and those formative years left an indelible impression on how I view Human Resources. I learned the importance of combatting discrimination. I witnessed the strength that some people gain from their fragile situations.

I have always had a taste for risk, complex and innovative environments. I feel very much at home at LVMH, which I joined in 2007. For the past 13 years, I have worked in the area of talent and career management while developing and leading in-house coaching and leadership programs (EllesVMH coaching and Women@Dior). Identifying talents, showcasing their abilities and providing access to career opportunities is very gratifying. The positive impact of helping others is a source of daily satisfaction.

The values of diversity and inclusion promoted by LVMH are consistent with my own views regarding equality and doing things the right way. My arrival in New York in 2019 was a wonderful cultural transition, since words turn quickly into actions here.

Motivated by the examples of high-profile women, e.g. Hannah Arendt or Nikole Hannah Jones to cite but two, I have had the good fortune to work with many inspirational talents. A member for the past 20 years of various associations and boards promoting gender equality, I continuously strive to break through glass ceilings.

As a woman who specializes in communications and networking, I believe that social media are a great tool for showcasing talents, amplifying authentic voices and creating social value.
