Testimonials

Cambridge Judge Business School Careers Centre has worked with Claire several times over the years on strategic projects. Her insights are always informed by her deep knowledge of careers, the unique nature of each programme and her understanding of the needs of our experienced student demographic.

She combines a sharp focus and incisive mind with real empathy, allowing her to build rapport with a broad range of people and come up with workable solutions. She is great to bounce ideas off, listening and asking the kind of questions that bring clarity and insight. Her contribution to our strategic restructure has been invaluable and I would love to work with her again.

Claire has been working with our MBA students for many years. Her experience at an international level is always highly appreciated. Claire has accompanied the Department of Corporate and Alumni Relations (which includes industry outreach, career services, fund raising as well) in its project of organizational evolution. She has done a complete analysis of our organization & work flow including overlaps and gaps, done some benchmarking and proposed a new structure for a better efficiency of our large department. Her ability to listen, her knowledge of different organizational models and her ability to convince have been very valuable and have greatly facilitated appropriation within the teams.

Claire and I have worked together over the years in our mutual relationship between Alstom and Insead. Claire is the only outside participant we’ve invited to an internal training programme on Targeted Selection. It was Claire’s ability to blend with the Alstom participants that enticed us to try this approach, and the results were extremely positive thanks to Claire’s participation and professional insight. I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with Claire again in the future.

Claire is a very focused manager. She knows what « taking a challenge “means. She was the Marketing manager who brought forward the concept of selling Tupperware products outside of the conventional party. She developed a new Sales Channel which is still expanding today. It was very courageous and full of insight. On top of that, Claire is a real nice colleague, very witty and inspired.

Claire is the real deal career coach. She has held heavy hitter roles in careers management for top schools such as INSEAD, IMD and HEC. She consulted me when I was doing an MBA at Audencia Business School and gave great advice to someone who wasn’t totally sure what next career step to take. I now have left the corporate world, and own 2 businesses (with a new one due to take off soon). Claire advises, encourages and best of all… has an open-door policy “if you have a question just contact me”. She was one of / if not THE trusted advisor who allowed me to believe I could change career path, and that it was within my reach. Highly recommend Claire as a career coach. What you waiting for, contact Claire and get that job / start that company where you will feel fulfilled!

While at INSEAD, Claire was the newly appointed director for Career Management Service. As Career management representative for the students, I had the chance to interact with Claire on a regular basis. Claire was very receptive of many improvements we proposed to enhance the Career Management Service, and she made sure they were implemented quickly and effectively. She also managed the very challenging task of getting the Singapore Campus more and more accessible to European recruiters…I really enjoyed working in partnership with Claire, she is very professional and a very nice person to work with.

As an INSEAD MBA student, I had the opportunity to see how Claire deeply transformed the mission and functioning of our Career Management Service. She developed very strong ties with the student community, always taking the time to give personal advice. She also managed to widen the network of potential employers and external partners, thus opening the range of work possibilities for MBA students. She got impact and credibility in a very short time and her work was quickly recognized by everybody at INSEAD.
