"Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all, endurance." - James Baldwin
With a specialization in English and studies focused on international business from the start of my journey, I have had the opportunity to work in various types of companies: from start-ups to global corporations. I chose apprenticeship at the end of my study as it allowed me to learn directly from professionals and prioritize practical experience over theory.
I embarked on my journey in the business world by joining a multinational firm in a global industry, which provided me with invaluable insights into the intricacies of logistics and mass production. Traveling to China, engaging with tech suppliers, and working in a multicultural environment broadened my perspective on business management and the challenges of import/export operations.
Transitioning to the e-commerce sector in 2015, I've dedicated myself to mastering and enhancing e-stores to enhance online visibility, boost brand recognition, drive sales, and deliver value. My time in a small and rapidly growing startup exposed me to diverse projects, ranging from managing segments of the supply chain with Chinese suppliers to liaising with business clients for their bulk orders.
My versatile skillset defies the adage "jack of all trades, master of none." Every task I've tackled has contributed to my comprehensive understanding of business challenges, motivating me to continuously refine my expertise and push the boundaries of my knowledge. Following my stint with a South African startup, I delved into the role of a business developer and digital marketer for a French e-commerce brand in the B2B sector.
Having experienced both sides of the spectrum, from collaborating with suppliers and digital marketing agencies to serving final business clients, I've honed my ability to adapt and gain a deep comprehension of the opportunities, and obstacles that clients and partners may encounter. This adaptability has equipped me to provide effective solutions in the fast-evolving and dynamic landscape of business.
Since July, my enrollment in the Forward Program e-learning initiative has intensified my determination to grow and continue learning. As Conrad Hall wisely noted, "You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward." At this juncture, I'm committed to advancing toward my goal of self-improvement and to sharing my expertise and knowledge with a team and a company eager to expand and grow. I'm open to new work opportunities!
The sky's the limit, at least for now.
