I first worked in a private bank for 5 years as a communications manager. The experience was a unique learning experience; this company being composed mostly of men, I understood that it is only hard work that leads you to success. Well surrounded, I always had confidence in myself and never questioned my skills. Later, I landed in the IT world by chance. As a communications manager for two years, I found this sector fascinating and decided to take a little more interest in it. I then moved into the consulting business in strategic positions. My biggest difficulty in my role as a director was to be considered as a "boss".
