Today, my job is to manage the sales team in Luxembourg, to define the right Focus and to follow the KPIs along the water in order to achieve the objectives set by the group.

I am also in charge of the offshore development within SOGETI BeLux: the objective is to make the best use of the strength of the group (one team); Including our capabilities in India in order to provide our customers with more flexibility and agility; While being very competitive financially speaking. Each member of the board is also in charge of a transversal function in the company: I also have the responsibility to bring to the COMEX everything related to the BeLux Marketing actions

What I have always loved at SOGETI is everything that comes with "meritocracy": indeed, if we wish it, evolutions are possible and I am the perfect example of it.

Regarding SOGETI, the portfolio of our solutions is very broad and we can almost every time meet all the needs of our customers: this element is also very interesting (diversification in the work) at Sogeti.
