Bio
Vincent Gabris
I have worked during 2.5 years with Pascal at L’Oréal in Switzerland, when he was leading the controlling team for the consumer products division. I was impressed by his strategic vision and how close he always was to the business. He was constantly able to challenge the marketing and sales teams on all levels, in order to set and deliver on division goals and targets, from a strategical to an execution point. Pascal is an inspiring individual with great people leadership and influencing skills. He has strong interpersonal skills that enable him to foster trustful relationships with his counterparts on market and international level. It was a real pleasure to work with Pascal as much on a professional as on a personal level!
