Marie-Agnès is a wonderful person and professional. Her friendly energy convinced our team at Valentino to hire her immediately. While working together, she has made Le Bon Marché a top selling door, converting browsers into customers and creating wonderful client relationships. Marie-Agnès until today enjoys a good reputation among old team members. Should the opportunity arise, I would be thrilled to work with her again but in the meantime, I recommend her warmly.

Marie-Agnès était une collaboratrice ayant un sens commercial très développé, que ce soit au niveau du service donné aux clients et à la fidelisation de ces derniers. Très cultivée, elle aimait transmettre ses connaissances et former les nouveaux entrants.

Marie-Agnes fait preuve d’un professionnalisme sans faille. J’ai eu l’occasion de collaborer avec elle sur une année complète. C’est une manager humaine, à l'écoute de son équipe, qui ne recule pas face aux différents challenges. Elle m’a énormément apporté tant d’un point de vu professionnel que personnel.

Marie-Angès is a fantastic salesperson, with amazing people and organization skills. She was able to manage the Off-White corner at Galeries Lafayette exceptionally in the challenging times of the corner's inauguration, pre-pandemic boom, and during the pandemic as well. Marie-Agnès is a proactive person. During my work with her, she offered valuable suggestions to improve the store operations, and also provided outstanding CRM inputs to the buying team regarding customer product feedback and preferences.
