Bio
Sandrine Fabre-Rubinstein
Team spirit into thin air ! Like in high mountains, are we not roped with our managers and teams in our projects and our business transformations ? François Devy, through its many ascents in the Himalayas and his business life as senior officer identified 8 golden rules common to these two worlds. During these sessions with senior and operational managers of the bank it is not another method of driving changes, but the key points, or vital points, to 8,000 meters for sure! Transpositions in business are obvious. But Francois doesn’t overplay this, he takes us through his story, his photos, his answers to our questions on the highest peaks of the world as in the intensity of human relationships. Everyone takes what he has to take now, or later when his memory found an analogy in a given situation, a little, a lot, passionately! All, in any case, have done a beautiful and emotional journey with François. Inspiring!

I enjoyed so much working with François 12 years in Unilever. We developped and launched very successful products together. François'great sense of perspective and creativity is a stabilising force in a team. His calm and incredible empathy have been of great value to all teams he worked with. He is a great Marketer who always positives and solution oriented, very straighforward and clear in both marketing and financial recommandation. He is an incredible support for streategic thinking and strategic influencing, constructively challenging and building marketing plans.
