I worked successfully with Fabienne for 4 years. Fabienne was completely in charge of the product strategy and development processes and the marketing operations. Fabienne’s knowledge of marketing and product development in both process and execution is impressive. She has also a strong sense of creativity and led the design team. She is extremely hardworking and dedicated to both the big picture activities as well as all the details. Fabienne is a pleasure to work with and she has a positive impact on people and projects. Hiring Fabienne for a short or long term assignment will quickly prove to be one of your company’s greatest assets.
