Danielle Lawand

Hello, I’m Danielle Lawand, a multilingual professional with a diverse academic background and international experience. Raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for 16 years, I am of French and Lebanese heritage. This upbringing not only shaped my cultural perspective but also honed my language skills. I am fluent in English, French, and Arabic, with proficiency in Spanish (B2) and a growing interest in Korean. I embarked on my academic journey in Paris, where I pursued my Bachelor’s in Business Administration at the IÉSEG School of Management, followed by a specialization in International Negotiation and Business Development for my Master’s degree. This comprehensive 5-year Grande École program has equipped me with a robust foundation in management and strategic business development. Throughout my academic tenure, I’ve sought hands-on experiences to complement my studies. I completed an enriching exchange semester at AUST in Lebanon and held diverse internship roles ranging from business development management at Dar Al-Handasah in Riyadh to strategic sales assistance at PharmaBoardroom, Eurobuilt Système Glass, and MADAME DOMINIQUE DONNADIEU in Paris. These experiences have deepened my understanding of global markets and sharpened my professional acumen. Driven by a passion for continuous learning, I’ve expanded my skill set through certifications from prestigious institutions like Harvard Business School Online, including INSIDE LVMH, and practical courses in web development and data science from Le Wagon. I’m also committed to sustainability, holding a TASK by Sulitest certificate and leveraging design proficiency with Canva and LinkedIn Learning certifications. Looking ahead, I’m excited to embark on my next academic endeavor, an online DBA degree at the Swiss School of Business and Management. Currently concluding my internship at Dar Al-Handasah, I bring a blend of academic excellence, practical experience, and a proactive approach to every challenge. Outside of academia and work, I thrive in collaborative environments, valuing diverse perspectives and teamwork. Organized and driven, I excel in planning and executing tasks efficiently. Let’s connect and explore opportunities where I can contribute my skills and passion for business development and negotiation in a dynamic global setting.
