Freelance Business & HR Manager | Talent & Transformation Projects
I am a freelance consultant with strong experience in IT staffing, HR strategy, and change management. Over the past years, I’ve led multidisciplinary teams (up to 40 people), built and developed local business units from scratch, and managed end-to-end HR and business operations for major players in the energy, industrial, and consultancy sectors.
My mission is to create structure, bring clarity, and support business growth through pragmatic and human-centered leadership. I combine strategic vision with operational execution, always aiming to deliver measurable results in fast-paced and complex environments.
Key areas of expertise:
• IT talent acquisition & team leadership
• HR transformation & change management
• Staffing and project delivery in technical environments
• Business development & client relationship management
• Office setup & HR lifecycle implementation
• Multistakeholder communication & conflict resolution
I hold a Master’s degree in HR and in Commercial Sciences, and completed a Change Management Foundation training.
I’m fluent in French, with full professional proficiency in English and conversational Dutch.
Curious, committed, and adaptable, I thrive in environments where people and transformation are key to success.
