“Private victory precedes public victory” – Stephen Covey

Taking a step back is a strategic lever — for individuals as well as for organizations. Decoding one’s internal functioning, understanding internal dynamics and strengths, allows for more intentional and effective action.
An organization truly transforms when it begins with this inner clarity and aligns who it is with what it aims to achieve. This foundational work is the key to sustainable performance and strong collective impact.

Background and Experience

With a degree in Economics and a Master’s in International Purchasing Management, Cécile spent 30 years working within SMEs and multinational companies in the Luxury and Cosmetics industries.
As Director of International Purchasing and a member of an Executive Committee, she consistently aimed to contribute to company performance while developing and empowering her purchasing teams.
Throughout her career, she played a key role in several mergers, contributing to the success of cultural, managerial, and organizational transformation projects. She gained solid experience in project management and change leadership, working with multidisciplinary teams in complex environments.

In 2021, driven by her passion for successful individual and collective transformation, Cécile trained in coaching and facilitation. She began her new chapter with leadership training and career coaching, gradually expanding her scope to team and organizational transformation support.

Experience as a sparring partner

As a Sparring Partner, Cécile draws on her expertise in complex, shifting environments to support leaders and their teams in strengthening cohesion and aligning strategic priorities with operational effectiveness.
She creates a safe, high-value space that enables leaders to strengthen their leadership and build agility in managing through constant change — accessing a clearer, broader strategic view of their system.
Influencing the deeper dynamics at play — such as resistance, belief systems, and energy leaks — becomes a powerful lever for discovering new solutions and key resources essential to business growth and sustainability.

Cécile coaches in French, both one-on-one and with teams.
