Our team - Nexmove

A shared passion

The team

The Nexmove team comprises executive coaches and a cross-disciplinary team that nurtures our ecosystem.

Our coaches all come from corporate backgrounds and a results-driven culture, underpinned by a proactive, creative approach to their missions and unstinting availability. They have all exercised managerial functions or headed up profit centres.

They are adept at combining their diversity with a shared vision of how to work together: i.e., making each person the owner of their own change process and harnessing the group dynamic to all of the opportunities and exchanges going on within NEXMOVE.

About Marie-Liesse

“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life”. (Confucius)

My decision to work in Nexmove is driven by the strength and professionalism of a cohesive team, a dynamic cutting-edge approach, Nexmove’s reputation and rigour and its international focus, together with the energy generated day-in, day-out around our exchanges, workshops and events. Nexmove can only generate change by keeping pace with a changing world.

As Managing Director, I have to head up the business and make sure that we have an ecosystem that has something for everybody.

As Senior Executive coach, my role is to tap into all of your responsibility and potential because motivation and professional fulfilment can only be based on successful transitioning.

My professional journey (in brief)

Post-graduate studies in Business Law & Tax at Université Paris II - 1989
Certified Coach – Link-Up Coaching - 2011
Trained Mediator –IEAM -2012
MBTI

My law studies taught me the importance of equity and rigour while my commercial experience at Jones Lang helped develop my customer relations and negotiating skills together with a results-based mindset. The years I spent in London broadened my mind and perfected my English. Aside from intense joy, my four children have taught me the importance of sharing and perseverance while my return to the world of work at Hammerson gave me a real feel for management and the quest for excellence.

All of these diverse experiences have led me to my ultimate professional vocation: helping to partner career development and transition.

Hands-on, Creative, Authentic, Perseverance

About Fabrice

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” Henry Ford.

“To get ahead, you need to have inner resources from a very early stage and be able to benefit from an outstretched hand and experienced tutors.” Boris Cyrulnik in Le Monde de l'éducation N° 292 - May 2001

I have 20 years’ experience of partnering executives and entrepreneurs in leading headhunting and consulting firms both inside and outside France.

I’ve also worked as a consultant, successfully completing a number of lean manufacturing and performance enhancement missions as well as company turnarounds.

I’ve set up six businesses myself – and they’re all still running! One of them has employed 27 people.

But I’ve also had failures and setbacks. These are the experiences that have forged my character and helped me to pinpoint the factors that make for a successful venture or help people to bounce back.

I’m currently partnering executives and senior managers who are in a transitional phase or looking to change direction, and helping them get back on track.

My own experience has taught me when to listen in a proactive and caring manner and when to speak plainly but in a pragmatic, non-judgemental way. Finally, I use my knowledge of the market and the demanding standards of headhunters to maximise the career transition of everyone I work with.

What I really love most is sharing and learning about other people.

I spent my formative years with Microsoft France working with early software designed to make it easier to exchange information, before moving into a communications role for a major French Group where I helped tailor the company’s message to its various different stakeholders.

These first two jobs – head of communication and CEO of a subsidiary – showed me how management can showcase talent and pointed me in the direction I wanted to go.

After the birth of my third child in 2002, I started working for an association as head of a food bank for people who have been shut out of society and the world of work.

When Marc Saunder asked me to come and work for Nexmove in early 2006, it was obvious that this was always what I had dreamed of doing! I feel that my pragmatic and positive approach really does help people who are in the process of career transitioning to get the most out of themselves.

Being from Brittany, I have an outward-looking nature.
Neither my legal training nor my banking experience pointed to a career in human resources and it was only by chance that I got into recruitment. But I quickly came to the conclusion that listening to and guiding executives along the next stage of their career was a source of constant satisfaction and shared experience.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve been lucky enough to meet the most passionate and committed men and women and to be involved in the most exciting adventures working for international recruitment firms. Indeed, I ran my own business for eight years before selling to a Lyon-based consulting group in 2012.
When I came on board at NEXMOVE, I opted to join a team that channels all of its energy, creativity, professionalism and sheer determination into securing positive career transition outcomes.
I firmly believe that everyone has the ability and the energy needed to turn change into an opportunity.
My goal is that each manager or executive that I work with remains “Master of their own destiny and Captain of their own soul” during these periods of transformation which are part and parcel of a career in the corporate sphere.

And after all that, I breezily tell people that I’m a coach and outplacement consultant.

It wasn’t the obvious route to take because I worked in marketing for big international groups that speak to women by telling them that they’re beautiful! Not a bad deal for a man! For 15 years, I experienced the trials and tribulations of management at L'OREAL and ETAM, then at NEWELL-RUBBERMAID, working as Head of Marketing for Germany and International, Sales Director France and heading up subsidiaries in Chile, Switzerland and Belgium. What I liked most about management was the way it can highlight and showcase the various individual talents, skill-sets and resources within each team.

So what if I actually got a job doing this?

I used a professional hiatus to train as a coach and since 2006 I have been providing outplacement, coaching and career evaluation services in French, English, German or Spanish.

When I joined Nexmove in 2009, I found a place that is ideal for helping professionals to own their own transition process.

My job in a nutshell? Enabling a manager or executive to identify and tap into their own (cognitive, relational and motivational) potential more effectively in order to devise a project, deploy the resources needed to effect the change and measure the extent to which the objective has been achieved. And if the objective is achieved or exceeded...then that goes down as a win!

About Dean

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill

What are you looking for in a consultant? An understanding partner who knows how to listen and provide support? A coach who is going to challenge and stimulate you and drive you on? Commitment, an open mind and a keen sense of humour? In French or English (or both!)?

Well, if this is the case, I would be delighted to help you achieve your career transition objectives.

I’m bi-culturally Franco-British: I grew up in London, studied in Manchester, lived in Madrid and have been living in Paris for the past 28 years with my wife and 2 daughters.

As a trainer myself, I’ve learned how to listen and when to speak; at DHL I was in charge of projects, security and quality, things that require perseverance, discipline and communication; working in operations at Numéricâble and SFR developed my leadership and change enablement skills; working at Sitel as DG of the France-Morocco BU and DHR Europe boosted my international management experience; finally, I discovered the joys of international start-ups working for Mezu and helping to launch a fintech in Los Angeles via Lisbon, New York and a few other places as well.

Leitmotifs along my professional journey: service, customer care, empathy.

For me, joining Nexmove has brought all of these strands together. I am lucky enough to be able to help people at key moments in their professional journey as part of a very special, results-based relationship. I’m also part of team of professionals that prizes collective intelligence, empathy and simplicity above all else.

Having been through a number of career transitions myself, I am convinced that change really does make us stronger. So make that change and become a stronger person yourself by embarking on a great human adventure with us at Nexmove.

About Alix

ESSCA 1982
MBTI Certification (2005) - Process Communication (2007)
Syntec Coaching Accreditation (2010)

I cut my teeth working for three international groups (Beiersdorf Tesa, International Paper & Sylvania) in marketing and sales roles and later as Head of a Business Unit.
These 20 years spent in a corporate environment gave me experience of coordinating teams of people from very different backgrounds and made me realise that what I actually love most is working with professionals within organisations to help move their projects forward.
So it was a natural progression for me when I joined a US firm of career transition specialists in 2002 to work full time on what I like doing best. In 2007, I joined Nexmove where I coach senior executives and managers and help them tap into – and get the most out of – all of their potential at various different stages on their professional journey.
We work on their strategy and vision after establishing a genuine rapport of trust and two-way communication.

About Agnès

My coaching and support philosophy:

NVC Non-Violent Communication (2017)
HEC MUST Master2 (Strategic Management Unit) (2015)
Mines de Paris /Copernic- International Management (1994)

Welcoming each Person in all his/her complexity, fragility and powerful(less)ness; re-examining established belief systems that may cloud the horizon, hamper or restrict action and then transforming these – step by step – into vectors for driving a personally enriching project forward.
I want to support you along this journey in which you are the chief protagonist, tapping into the internal resources that are latent there within you, waiting to be deployed, to enable you to realise your full potential.

After 20 years of managing international teams in big multinationals (Danone, SJ Johnson, Scholl, Newell Brands) in marketing and sales development roles, I’m now focused firmly on the human side of things: helping people with their career development and transition, and showcasing and consolidating their talents.

“The headlong stream is termed violent, but the river bed hemming it in is termed violent by no one”. Bertolt Brecht

Masters in Communication – Sup de Pub 1991
Training in delegated processes - Métasystème 2015
Systemic coaching training - Métasystème 2016

Changing perspectives to be able to see the world, human organisations and each person in a different manner. Showcasing forgotten or latent resources and potential. Finding (or redefining) desire and concrete target results. This is the philosophy that underpins my approach to coaching and support.
15 years as a communication specialist working in the Havas Group, particularly for BETC, 8 years running an SME, and a childhood spent in a family where business and collective success were daily topics of conversation, have made me someone who is curious about everything and ambitious for others, and left me with an incurable natural optimism.

At Nexmove, I have encountered a mindset that is focused on openness, exchange, sharing and partnering human potential and respect for all. And, much to my delight, it is a place where topics – both human & business – are endlessly discussed and re-examined.

I love the rush of a stream in full flow and seeing how people – and teams – skilfully navigate the currents to get where they want to go. And if I can help to get them there, all the better!

Executive Coach

nriedler@nexmove.fr

About Nicolas

ESCP Europe (1984)

Obviously, I’ve always wanted to give free rein to my curiosity, my desire to meet other people and my attraction for differences and all things international.

Professionally, while I’m driven by a taste for action and achieving results, I also love sharing experiences as a means of reflection and deciding how to move forward in a complex, exciting world.

Two experiences in particular stand out on my professional journey. Ten years heading up international development for the Aubade lingerie group and four years spent working in chocolate at Bongrain Group where I ran a subsidiary.

My globetrotting “business” years taught me the importance of having a vision and a clear strategy but I also realised that it is in the deployment phase that talent and great ambition come to the fore.

When I joined Nexmove in 2011 to begin a new professional adventure by helping other executives to take charge of their own transition process, this seemed like a natural progression for me.

This is what I hope to bring to the personal repositioning missions that I undertake and to tackle them with a blend of pragmatism, commitment, respect, sincerity and courage to help you devise and succeed at your personal project.

After studying Humanities at Université de Jussieu, I spent the bulk of my career at two big communication groups – BDDP (TBWA) and Euro RSCG – managing cross-cutting teams and business units.

I’ve been a consultant and coach since 2001, providing outplacement services, individual and team coaching and professional development support to executives and senior managers in a transition phase.

My goal is to untether an individual’s potential in terms of talent, style and synergies, give them the resources to discover and experiment with their untapped potential, give them a heightened understanding of situations requiring in-depth analysis, and ultimately enable them to lay the foundations and strategy for success.

“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.” Francis BACON

Post-graduate studies in Business management and administration (CAAE) – IAE -1993
Masters in Private Law – 1986
Professional Coach Certification – Académie du Coaching- 2010

The first part of my career was essentially focused on the strategic and operational management of Human Resources in big corporations. For over 15 years, I helped advise senior management teams on all types of HR-related issues.

I started in the Telecoms sector before moving into Banking... I was very excited by the pace of change and I acquired solid experience of how organisations actually work and the specific challenges facing bosses and senior executives.

In 2008, I decided to focus on the things that give the most meaning and pleasure to my professional activities, namely meeting and engaging with people – this also chimed with my unstinting interest in the world of business and change enablement.

It became obvious what I wanted to do next, namely support senior executives and managers in their professional journey and repositioning strategy.

I love forging a unique partnership with each person I work with...that enables him/her to get a little perspective before moving forward to activate the levers of success with calm confidence.

I guess it’s my Franco-American roots that drive the desire to constantly surpass myself (I’m a marathon runner and snow-boarder!) together with a focus on efficiency. But the Latin part of me loves nothing better than thinking “out of the box”!

For 20 years, I worked in management positions in major international groups before joining a big US outplacement firm in 1997. I set up Nexmove in 2004 in the belief that it was possible to start a business after 50 years of age...and indeed it is!

My credo: if you want to enable change, you have to change yourself! And this is one of the reasons why I try to keep ahead of the game by sharing the most innovative experiences with our partners in Arbora Global Career Partners.

But the most important thing for me remains taking each mission as it comes and adapting my support strategy to the needs and expectations of the men and women who choose to work with me. Responsiveness, availability and creativity!

About Natacha

“Empathy, professionalism and kindness”

After five years of Digital Communication studies, I really feel that I’ve found my niche.

I’m fascinated by the latest innovations and what lies ahead.

When I left high school I entered a work-study program, so I was straight into the world of work - I hit the ground running!

I quickly began working in consultancy at the juncture of professional development and wellness at work with a stint at Stimulus, part of the Human & Work Project group.

When I joined Nexmove, I was delighted to find values I could identify with: empathy, conviviality and a sense of sharing.

Within the team, I’m in charge of communication and developing the Nexmove brand. I also provide support to people who are transitioning, either as Nexmove candidates or with specific areas such as digital expertise.

Olivier Yéni

Oral communication expert

About Olivier

Through Acte Sept, I’ve been helping senior executives with their spoken communication for the past 15 years. I’m a trained singer and actor and I’ve written a few plays so I created Acte Sept with the idea of marrying corporate communications to an artistic approach.

Drawing upon these two skills, we work on both the content of your message (as author), but also on how you deliver it (as an actor).

We have created a leadership communication workshop for Nexmove to work on communication style and key upcoming speeches. I take turns with AnLo Piquet and Olivier Lambert – two other members of the Acte Sept team – to coordinate the workshop and it’s always a great adventure because quality communication is really all about having quality relationships!

About Gregory

A few years working in finance have given me a pretty good understanding of economics and I factor cost effectiveness into all of my processes when I’m trying to solve problems and come up with solutions for businesses.

My numerous commitments to associations have fostered a flexible approach tailored to decentralised environments that require simple, effective and cost-efficient processes. I have considerable experience of deploying "open source” solutions to deal with the challenges faced by associations.

In 2010, I set up Ficelles, a company specialised in web design and consultancy (tech watch, social networks, websites, etc.) and web 2.0 training (HR 2.0, PR 2.0, marketing 2.0, communication 2.0, tech watch and curation, etc.).

I run a “Web uses” workshop for Nexmove that gives participants an enhanced understanding of the web and arms them with a number of tools they can deploy to optimise web use for professional and personal ends.
