What's your background?

After four years of work-study in retail, I completed a Master's degree in Digital Marketing and E-Commerce at IESEG in Lille. It was while writing my dissertation on the adoption of an omnichannel model within a retailer subsidiary that I decided to turn my career towards consulting.

Why choose Univers Retail?

When I started looking at consultancy firms, Univers Retail caught my eye. In fact, the latter was aimed at the retail sector, which is where I wanted to move after my professional experience and my research dissertation.

I was also instantly struck by the values shared by this human-scale structure.

What do you like best about your current job?

I'm currently on a Change assignment with a retailer in Lille, France, and I like to understand the business processes of the different teams I meet. Each company has its own way of using a tool, and I'm always curious to discover how a customer makes it his own.

At Univers Retail, I love the team's spirit of initiative. Everyone pulls their weight, and every meeting with the other consultants is a good opportunity to discover, learn and share in good spirits.

What advice would you give to new recruits?

In my opinion, as a Junior, the first quality of a new recruit is curiosity. While we are required to have a basic knowledge of the business (methodological, practical, theoretical...), both the customer and the firm expect the novice consultant to beadaptable andopen-minded.

So don't hesitate to ask questions if you get stuck!

Apart from consulting, what are your passions?

I'm passionate about music and have been playing in a band for several years. This adventure has enabled us to take part in a multitude of concerts in the Lille and Paris regions, to answer a few interviews, to shoot several music videos...

Beyond the creative aspect, this artistic project was the object of some great encounters and moments!
