I had the chance to work with Coralie while she was at GIVAUDAN. Coralie is a great Product and Marketing manager, with an in depth technical and commercial understanding of B2B companies. She has a contagious positive energy and she is able to drive difficult projects to a positive end. It has been a pleasure working with her and I wish her all the best in her new position.
