Welcome!

Dear English-speaking reader, you will find here some of my research (articles and chapters) have been translated. Until you learn a bit of French (!)

I'm a HR consultant with expertise in the field of international mobility of executives and international HR management. I'm also a researcher for economic sociology and cross-cultural management. Through a global corporate university operating in 40 countries that I helped set up while being Training Director with L'Oreal, I provide worldwide support for the development of companies, managers and executives, facilitating the integration and success of people with diverse profiles.

I also teach HR and cross-cultural management at various top-league business schools such as ESSEC, ESPCI, EM Lyon, University of Dauphine, HEC Geneva …

Additionally, I'm currently in charge of the “Diversity and intercultural management” program for professional training at Paris' Institute for Political Studies (IEP - Institut d'Etudes Politiques).

Prior to consulting, I spent 15 years as HR manager with companies such as Elf Aquitaine and L'Oréal.

I hold a PhD in Corporate Sociology on “The international mobility of executives and international human resource management”, a PGD in “Labor management and corporate social development”, both from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques.

My publications include (in french!): The changing face of the world. Sociology of Globalization, Le Seuil, 2003 (co-authored with Jean-Luc Metzger and Dominique Martin), In favour of Intercultural Management. From Diversity to Recognition in Companies, L'Harmattan, 2008 (co-authored with Evalde Mutabazi). And some others in english (!)
