Particularly skilled at creating, developing and implementing new projects, I possess
a sound knowledge of international markets and a good sense of communication (internal/external/multi-lingual).
I have a special interest in inter-cultural relations and personal development techniques
I am a professional trainer and have developed various modules.

After a few years in Advertising & Marketing and co-owner of a Yachting company,
I joined a large international US Software Vendor where I held three different positions during my 6 years tenure, all with European-wide responsibilities and the latest in coordination with our US HQ.
Each of these assignments involved the creation & development of projects / programs.
My work involved working on large accounts, with international corporations and on various projects; I am used to perform multi-tasks. I have the reputation for being thorough and effective.

I am fully autonomous and often reported to internationally-spread management.
My colleagues see me as an enthusiastic and motivating team member.

My profile is available in French.

I can be contacted by email: sophie.fechozt@gmail.com
