About Me
I am an experienced creative international events manager with 10 years worth of experience in the MICE industry. Whilst I am a French native, I am regularly commended for my fluency in both English and Spanish, which (along with French) has benefited my previous employers greatly during the run-up to and delivery of numerous international events. I also have a working knowledge of Italian. Being multilingual has also been vital when dealing with French/Spanish/Italian accounts, liaising with certain companies' overseas offices and communicating effectively with foreign delegates.
Passionate about using ideas, initiative and excellent interpersonal skills to participate in projects. Good communicator at all levels and a confident negotiator who thrives on challenges and creativity.
Specialties: International Event Management, Project Management, Problem Solving, Language skills, Creativity, Negotiation, Communication, Customer relations
