Result-oriented, autonomous, keen on change, I developed a passion for the dynamic area over which I had a supervision responsibility proviously.
Now dealing with industrial affairs for the French government, with a mission relative to supply chain organisation and restructutation, I am open to challenge in Europe and Asia (fluent in English and Chinese), available in Feb 2008.
