Graduate at the end of the year 2005 from the Stockholm University Business School MBA as well as the Master from the ESC Pau Business School, I decided to continue my international experience through a VIE contract (A French specific contract which send graduated people (under 28 years old) abroad to achieve a determined mission which consists most of the time in helping the development of the French subsidiary.
After 19 months in Norway working for Citroën Norway as After Sales' Director Assistant, I'm now back to France.
During this mission, my main objectives were to set up some routines, methods and statistics to analyse our activity within our domestic market. In other words, to give a clear picture of our internal departmental organization and a better understanding of the expenses we have regarding the warranty.
Enriching from a professional, cultural and personal point of view, this experiment reflects my will to evolve in an international and multicultural context.
