Bio
Anne Laure FORTIN
J’ai eu le privilège et le plaisir de travailler avec Gael pendant un an. Il est venu nous accompagner sur un vaste programme de refonte de la BI Finance et Retail chez Sephora, via des upgrades à la fois outils et bases de données. L’apport de Gael sur le programme a été immense, et le succès du programme est incontestablement lié à son action. Gael est smart, customer oriented, agile, fiable, capable de vision hollistique comme détaillée, et toujours à la recherche de solutions.
Benoît Charpentier
Gael & I worked closely more than 2 years together at People and Baby. Gael, having been hired 8 months prior to my arrival was successfully handling all major financial matters. First, He managed to hire & create an effective team of Finance Controllers. Then, he spent a lot of time and energy to implement new tools and efficient processes in order to improve the availability, quality & number of finance reportings & indicators. Gael is clearly business oriented, and was able to find very effective solutions to many situations. He is rigorous though a dedicated manager to his team.
