Bio
Rosalie Laisné
J'ai eu l'occasion de collaborer avec Virginie au cours de mon stage de 6 mois chez LVMH Fragrance Brands. Mon expérience aux côtés de Virginie a été très enrichissante. Accueillante, bienveillante et très positive, Virginie a su facilité mon intégration dans l'entreprise en veillant à ma compréhension complète des enjeux du marketing produit sur le marché BELUX. Entre ses qualités professionnelles et personnelles, Virginie est un atout dans une équipe. Très belle continuation Virginie !

I did my end of study internship in Brussels for Givenchy and Kenzo, and Virginie was my manager. Her expertise in marketing and her managerial skills allowed me to fully develop during the last 6 months. I learned a lot from her human and professional qualities such as common sense, listening, self-control and good will. If it happened that we worked a little in the rush, under pressure of deadline or when we faced unforeseen events, it was always in a good mood thanks to Virginie's positive state of mind. I thank her for all that she brought and taught me and I hope that our paths will cross again!
