What they say
Testimonials
I had the chance to work alongside Gabrielle at Vétalis, and above all I remember a manager able to rally every profile around a common goal.
Always smiling, approachable and present in the field, she leaves no one behind.
She placed great importance on following up with teams, both managers and operational staff.
She is a real force of nature when it comes to hitting targets, but her great strength is bringing everyone along with her.
A committed, human and determined manager, with whom you want to push yourself further.
Gabrielle is a committed and demanding leader, with strong analytical ability and great rigour in execution.
She knows how to structure priorities, support her direct reports with clarity and foster a constructive working environment.
Her professionalism, integrity and sense of responsibility embody committed and consistent leadership.
Working with Gabrielle is a stimulating and rewarding professional experience.
Gabrielle has a keen sense of organisation and responsibility.
She is fully dedicated to and invested in the assignments entrusted to her.
She has a sharp mind and a fine analysis of situations, allowing her to quickly provide suitable, impactful answers in all circumstances.
Her open-mindedness and knowledge of international markets give her a rare and highly valued expertise in delivering effective business development.
Gabrielle is an expert in strategic deployment, with a very strong capacity for organisation and market structuring.
She shows a great sense of commitment in the assignments entrusted to her.
An eternal optimist with a strong sense of listening, she always remains a source of proposals, even during complex and delicate negotiations.
Her reading of the market, of sales statistics and her field analysis give her an undeniable advantage in achieving her objectives.
It is rare to meet someone who, at her age, already has such extensive experience in her industry, with a unique perspective and strategic vision.
I had the pleasure of working with Gabrielle throughout our 18-month Executive MBA at ESSEC, as a pair on the intrapreneurship project at CEPS (Cognac), where Gabrielle was managing director.
I was impressed by her ability to work on essential operational aspects, but also by her ability to step back and project a strategy over several years.
Whatever the challenge, Gabrielle rose to the occasion.
I really enjoyed working with you and I have no regrets.
Thank you for your impressive leadership, for all your managerial support and your decision-making courage, I will miss you a lot.
I am very happy to have learned so much by your side!
