Nicolas Boucher
Living in 5 different countries across 3 different continents (France, USA, Luxembourg, Singapore and Germany) gave me the capacity to integrate myself quickly and understand different local and working cultures. Worked 8 years for Thales, an engineering and industrial french multinational. I had finance manager roles and was part of the management of a 400 people production site. Prior to that, I worked 7 years as an auditor and consultant for PwC in Luxembourg and Singapore.
