Développement produits nouveaux
To develop the products of the future has always been my goal.
After graduating with a Master’s in innovation management, I joined the head quarter of a blue chip company where I was involved in a breakthrough European brand extension program.
I worked in different business sectors within an international environment.
My main competencies are in product development, creativity, project management, packaging, consumer connection, and consumer insight.
To extend my international experience I would like to join a in-house innovation unit.
