Head Hunter specialised e-business
Milan Area, Italy
I conduct cross functional and international search projects for senior management within e-business/online sectors, being committed to develop a tailored search strategy accordingly with specific business needs.
Prior to joining Floriane de Saint Pierre Associés as Consultant, in 2007, I was a Researcher at Sterling International for 3 years.
I began my career as Assistant to the Marketing Director for Elle and Mirabella in New York within Hachette Filipacchi Medias. In 2001 I joined the L’Oreal Luxury Division in Paris at the International Coordination for Giorgio Armani Fragrances. I was Brand Manager within L’Oreal Luxury Division in Madrid for 2 years launching different product such as Amor Amor (Cacharel), Aquatic Lotion and Aqua Sensitive (Biotherm), and worked closely with El Corte Ingles to develop the visibility and merchandising of the brands.
I have obtained a degree in Marketing, Management and Spanish at the Roehampton/Surrey University. I speak fluently French, English and Spanish. And I am currently learning Italian.
