Laura K

An HR expert with 8 years of experience, I have built my career in varied environments: large groups, consulting firms and fast-growing SMEs:

As part of my Master 2 at CIFFOP (Paris II Panthéon-Assas), I started at L’Oréal in recruitment, then at LVMH in talent development for a high-potential population. I then joined Safran as an HR Business Partner! Once I had graduated, I joined TUCOENERGIE as Head of People for 4 years, a hyper-growth SME that I supported as it grew from 20 to 100 employees. There I led the HR strategy, recruitment, talent management, culture, well-being, conflict handling and HR compliance, in a context of fundraising and structuring. After that experience, I decided to join the consulting firm BearingPoint to discover the consulting world before setting up as a freelance consultant!
