«I currently have a double role at Lincoln. Firstly, I am lucky enough to be a team leader, which allows me to manage consultants in their daily work. And I am also a Talent Agent myself. When I recently became a partner of the group, my first ambition was to get even more involved in the life of Lincoln. Becoming a partner opens me up to essential strategic thinking, but more than that, it gives me the opportunity to be involved in all matters related to the development of the company and our business. I am also lucky to work in a team with people who inspire me. In the future, I think our jobs will evolve towards even greater proximity. As Talent Agents, our ambition is to be as close to people as possible, becoming their primary contact over the long term, in order to guide them in all the key stages of their professional journey »
