Your background?

I have 14 years of experience, the first 8 in a Tier 1 strategy consulting firm here in Paris. I then moved into retail, in management positions. For the past 2 years I have been an independent consultant, working in strategy consulting.

‍

Your assignment with Bloomco?

I am currently on assignment for a leader in the wines and spirits market. I run a digital transformation programme for the sales force, acting as global PMO for the programme.

‍

What do you enjoy most about being independent?

The direct contact with my client. In a large firm, there are sometimes layers of hierarchy above you handling that. And alongside it, the chance to work on different topics within the same company.

‍

What has Bloomco brought you?

Being able to concentrate on my assignments, since Bloomco handles the whole commercial side. Access to genuinely interesting clients and assignments, including clients who have already understood the value of working with independents. And third, Bloomco is very strong at matching consultants' profiles to topics and assignments. They really do put the right profiles on the right assignments.

A final word? 

To everyone hesitating about going independent: do not hesitate! Players like Bloomco are there to make it easier for you.
