Numbers I can walk you through.

Every figure comes from a job I held, with the source next to it.

I learned business from both sides of the table. At SNCF Réseau I was the buyer: specifying vehicles, negotiating with lessors, renewing contracts. At Peugeot I was the seller, owning every deal from first call to signature. Today I am finishing an MBA in Australia while running my own business.
