Bio
Veronique Piguet
I had the chance to recruit Marie-Florence as a contractor in my team and worked with her for over a year. I have to say that she is reliable, very professional and has a team spirit that perfectly matched my expectations. Due to the fact she speaks several languages she was able to handle lots of customers around Europe with ease. I would recommend her to any future employer as she will for sure be a strong asset!
