About Sophie

J’aime comprendre, structurer et faire avancer les choses.
J’ai travaillé aussi bien avec de grands groupes (ventes complexes, cycles longs, stratégie de comptes) qu’avec des startups (agilité, volume de leads, "done is better than perfect"). J’aime autant construire une stratégie que mettre les mains dans l’opérationnel.

Ce que je recherche : des missions où je peux avoir un vrai impact, allier réflexion et action, structurer, faire avancer les choses, transmettre aussi.

Compétences clés : sales ops, CRM, gestion de projet, stratégie commerciale, négociation, management.
