I had the pleasure of working with Bernard PRADEAU over the past year in his role as Interim Real Estate Director supporting our global portfolio. Bernard brought strong expertise in real estate portfolio strategy, asset management, and lease optimization, combined with a pragmatic and results-driven approach. He quickly established a clear and structured vision for portfolio management, positioning real estate as a strategic enabler He provided valuable guidance on complex lease situations, cost optimization, and risk exposure, supporting decision-making on key sites and transactions. He contributed to shaping real estate strategy frameworks, including portfolio optimization, financial performance tracking, and lifecycle management. He worked effectively with internal teams, brokers, and external stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and pragmatic solutions in fast-moving environments. Bernard is particularly strong at: Structuring complex topics into clear, actionable strategies Balancing financial, operational, and business needs Bringing seniority and calm leadership in transformation or transition contexts I would highly recommend Bernard for interim leadership roles, portfolio transformation, or strategic real estate advisory missions. Best Linda
