Group HR Director - Operations & Labor relations @ Groupe SEB
About
HR Director with 15+ years of experience supporting industrial transformation in global manufacturing environments. I am passionate about building a constructive and modern social dialogue (Relations Sociales) that enables both performance and people engagement. Currently leading the people agenda for Industrial Operations and Labor Relations with a strong focus on France, I contribute to Group transformation by aligning workforce evolution, competitiveness and leadership capabilities across our industrial footprint. Throughout my career in the industry, I have shaped organization evolution and workforce adaptation in complex environments — including mergers & acquisitions, collective bargaining and social transformation programs — always fostering trust and collaboration with social partners. I believe in pragmatic HR leadership: close to the business, committed to people, and focused on long-term industrial success. Open to discussions with peers and leaders shaping the future of industry, competitiveness and social transformation in France.
