Bio
Sam Sheard
I had the pleasure of working with Sylvain for a few years while I was at Guthy|Renker. Together we shared some good times and challenging times but we always problem solved together. I loved his positive energy and genuine caring for our brand. We built a true partnership quickly and effortlessly. I watched Capsum go from strength to strength each year of which Sylvain was key player and driver. Hopefully our paths will cross again.
Sophie AGAT
I have been collaborating with Sylvain for over 4 years now. He is a seasoned professional, successfully implementing industry’s best practices, which was very helpful for our startup Capsum. His deep knowledge and network throughout the Cosmetic industry is a great leverage to open doors and rapidly boost sales. Besides, Sylvain is easy to work with. His collaborative-style is instrumental in setting up partnerships, both internally and externally. A great asset I recommend to any leadership team.
