For this first role in my HR career, I was hired by one of the partners of Profondo who was also a guest professor at my college. He spotted me while I was leading student consultancy projects for external customers (Fnac and Electrolux). Originally I worked in Antwerp, later I moved to the Brussels based office, which focused mainly on HR consulting in talent management after the company was split in 2 entities.Next to giving content support to the senior consultants, I am particularly proud of being the project coordinator & one of the developers for an international project: designing a learning framework and learning modules for all operational functions within TNT Express Worldwide.
