Professional background
She started her career with 15 years in marketing, finance and human resources roles for the audiovisual and cultural sector in Paris and Amsterdam, combined with entrepreneurial experience in branded entertainment in Greater China. These experiences have shaped her awareness and approach to management and leadership skills development in multicultural contexts.
In 2002, after 5 years in the Netherlands, she settled in Hong Kong where she spent 20 years. To strengthen her ability to assist her clients in cross-cultural environments, Véronique enriched her initial foundation in business management with a Master’s in Anthropology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, with a focus on Chinese Culture.
Coaching expertise
She completed her coach certification in Hong Kong and co-created Turningpoint’s Asia-Pacific subsidiary, which she developed and managed for ten years. Through this experience, she supported the leadership development of Asian and Western leaders operating in international environments. For more than a decade, Véronique has been coaching leaders and their teams; as well as designing, piloting and facilitating leadership development programs.
In 2022, she joined Turningpoint’s Paris headquarters as Global Managing Partner.
