Secondly, to improve customer experience through new processes that put customers at the heart of all final decisions. Finally, to create new recurring business through initiatives generated by freelancers and start-ups", explains Valérie Stival.

Convictions, experience and training

This new development in the young woman's career is grounded in her values and her background. "From the beginning, I have been driven by my ability to act and put myself in danger without hesitation to achieve my deepest and strongest convictions. I also owe a lot to my training. The NEOMA BS EMBA covers themes that are completely in line with current concerns and that is really helping me today.
