Anne-Sophie Tomas-Gautier

As a Client Director with 15+ years of experience in the design and branding industry, I am a swiss knife.

Here are ten examples of what that means :-)

1. Being able to tell you about brand architecture as much as offset printing.

2. Know the budget & timing performance status of any of my projects.

3. Create silly dance moves and facilitate impromptu meditation sessions to cheer up internal zoom meetings (that works IRL too).

4. Keep track of my clients' feedback and propose updated processes and tools for our internal team to improve our clients' experience.

5. Treat any grocery shopping experience as an audit opportunity

6. Look consistently for the character strengths in the junior team member I manage and make them do more of what they are good at (this is where positive psychology certification got helpful in my work life).

7. Be continuously on the lookout for intelligence, innovation, competition data related to my clients' business & industry.

8. Build pitch decks on some days and give my clients recommendations for the best places to visit in Paris on others.

9. Learn how to make an animation from a Keynote deck because the client wants an editable deck and a cool graphic animation for its investors' pitch meeting.

10. End my emails by "with kindness" and meaning it, for real! (grateful for the meditation teacher training program that taught me this).
