ONE MINUTE WITH...

Lionel Khamdy

  • Senior Consultant
  • Passionate about gastronomy

What's your background?

After more than 10 years' experience in the tourism sector, on both the travel agency and airline sides, I've been able to shape a whole expertise in project management, in fields as diverse as marketing, sales, route planning, yield management, finance and purchasing.

I then embraced the opportunity to change sectors for a position at Office Dépôt, which brought me into the world of retail and mass distribution, and which allows me to continue today at STIME.

Why choose Univers Retail?

I got to know the firm by being a customer first, and the relationship with the teams in place went really well.

This relationship of trust played a big part when the sales team contacted me to offer me a job, and I didn't hesitate about the firm.

What do you like best about your current job?

The fact that my work adds immediate value for the customer.

He gives me complete autonomy to manage the project, and all we need is weekly contact to take stock of any problems and arbitrate on a case-by-case basis.

What advice would you give to new recruits?

Work on relationships!

You'll learn more about the general atmosphere of the teams and the project by finding relays in the company where you are. They'll help you when you get stuck.

Apart from consulting, what are your passions?

I'm a real food fan, and that's my favorite part of traveling, discovering the local cuisine, as well as seeing landscapes and historical sites.
