What do people say about me?

I worked with Caroline during my time as UK CFO for Sanofi and found her to be a wonderful executive assistant that is very well organized, always one step ahead in planning, has excellent event management skills and is a very pleasant co-worker. She is very adept at navigating in complex organizations including international, multi-cultural situations. Caroline has extensive experience in organizing large events effectively such as CFO conferences, large team-building events and the company Christmas party. She is also experienced in helping to manage the intricacies of an ex-repatriate employees (such as myself) in assisting in sorting rental houses, international schools, tax calendar and assorted details.

M McClellan, Group CFO

I had the pleasure to work with Caroline for 5 years. While she was coaching her changing superiors (CFO’s) into the organization the thing I remember the most is her disciplined working style, her professionalism and the elegance and persuasion skills that made it look easy and friction free. She surely is a gift and backbone to every organization in a busy and dynamic environment.

W Raab, Senior Director
Corporate Audit & Compliance

Caroline  is a very balanced person, organized, positive, always anticipating, and on top of that keeping confidential information confidential.  A support that you really appreciate every day and one that makes your work easier.

F X Duhalde, CFO
