About me
My priority is to develop in me and my team the ability to give swift solution to the demands or concerns of our guests and exceeding their expectations. I am also looking for new goals and interested in new projects.
I am fluent in French, English and Spanish.
I am convinced that in a changing sector such as Food and Beverage, my constant search for innovative and new ideas, combined with more than 25 years of experience, gives me the ability to bring a fresh perspective that would greatly benefit your company while fulfilling my own career goals.
