About Me

Hello! I’m Céline. Director of Operations with a background in management and marketing, fluent in both French & English.
Efficient and meticulous, I am convinced that my academic background combined with my previous professional experiences, both in France and Canada, have made me a flexible and reliable employee capable of quickly adapting to various situations.
Independent and open-minded, my excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills allow me to easily integrate into any new structure and team.
Determined to always perform my work with seriousness, I am multitasking and capable of successfully managing different projects simultaneously to achieve high-quality results in a dynamic environment.
My experiences in various positions and industries —from Group Tax Advisor for the world's leading outdoor advertising company to Director of Operations for the nonprofit sector in Canada— have strengthened my innate desire to continually learn. Regardless of where in the world, I am confident that my work ethic and professionalism can bring a unique added value to my team.
