Bio
Pauline Giroux
During her Master's placement at YBS, Rebeca completed an in-depth and thorough piece of research on the topic of Integrated Reporting (IR). She took the lead and worked cross-functionnally to produce a comprehensive best practice analysis and set of recommendations for us to follow as we transition towards IR. Rebeca truly hit the ground running with her project, grasping the complexity of the topic within the first few weeks and producing valuable insights that we are now putting into action. It was a real pleasure to work with her, she's very personable with a can-do attitude which meant she settled into YBS really quickly and built strong ties with the whole team. We were all sad to see her go and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to strengthen their team.
