Experienced Rewards Manager with over 20 years of professional experience in HR. I hold postgraduate degrees, including an MBA from NEOMA Business School, an Advanced Award in Rewards Management from the London CIPD (Level 7), and a certificate in Business Analytics: Decision Making Using Data from the University of Cambridge. Pragmatic and results-driven, I excel as both a team manager and a team player. I am fluent in French and English, with Spanish as my native language, and I am currently learning Dutch.
