Colleagues describe her as "I had the chance to closely work with Caroline on key global HR projects at Fast Retailing, especially on the design of compensation systems and Workday HRIS implementation. Caroline is a well rounded HR leader who has solid expertise on all HR matters and international and multicultural environments. I particularly appreciate her leadership style : passionate, approachable, helpful, always open to share her knowledge and help others to grow, with a great sense of humor. She was a great mentor to me and I wish we could work again together in the future.", "Reflecting on my career there are only a few HR leaders who continue to have a long lasting impact on my development. Caroline is one of these HR leaders. I partnered with Caroline during my time at Fast Retailing. She served as a mentor, leader and coach during a fast growing phase, with brand acquisitions and many stores openings. I learned a tremendous amount in partnering with her as we implemented a real global culture while respecting brand DNAs. We also collaborated on talent management and organizational design. Caroline expanded my view of HR beyond the Comp & Benefits space and I am grateful as I now lead the People function for a brand. We continue to be a part of each other's network and I will always value her as a HR leader.", and "Caroline is by far one of the most well-rounded and appreciated colleagues I have come to work with in my career. She has remained a trusted and precious source of advice since we have moved on to new pastures and I would recommend her or seek the opportunity to work together again in a heartbeat. Caroline’s remarkable talent and full-fledged HR expertise were key in enabling Balenciaga's growth and in accompanying the brand’s extraordinary momentum during her tenure. Caroline immediately and very efficiently addressed the building of the HR support functions both at Head Office and in each of the 4 regions. For the EMEA region of which I was President, the HR organization had to be built from scratch. Caroline’s well established expertise on HR development, compensation and retention makes her an invaluable advisor on adapting schemes to individual talents and local regulations whilst being aligned with goals and values at both brand and Group level. At times where rapid growth can also yield its share of strain and challenge, I was able to observe how naturally leaders turn to her as advisor on the most delicate and complex issues, including for crisis management where she was always an astute and pacifying force. Since taking on a General Manager role, I have felt fortunate to continue to have Caroline as a sparring partner and advisor on the countless questions that come with developing an emerging brand. She continues to be an invaluable counsel and to demonstrate what an exceptional asset she can represent to very different types of organizations."
