Helping YOU and YOUR TEAM GROW

I’ve always told myself that I would make a big career and become a CEO in a big company... Manage big teams, have impact and being recognized as a great leader were my drivers.

Until the moment I started to work...

I’ll always remember the first day in my new job, arriving full of enthusiasm in a team that I would not describe as ecstatic… I got to spend a lot of time reading documentation alone at my desk and the little observer in me started thinking that something is not like I pictured it: a workplace where people collaborate efficiently together in a great ambiance in order to achieve great purposes.

To me it was important to understand how a company work from the inside, so I committed myself to try different roles, observe what the culture does to me and ask myself what I would do differently if I was in the driving seat.

In 2010, in my quest for alternative ways of managing a company, I bumped into what are called Collective Intelligence practices and innovative governance models such as Sociocracy and Holacracy.

I joined associations that were functioning under this organizational paradigm, started to train to dig deeper and experimented with these new ways of leading groups.

What was the most striking to me was the difference of enthusiasm and efficiency when I was experimenting these new ways of doing and when I was at work under the old style.

In 2017, I felt ready to launch Mango Chutney to help organizations become more collaborative and agile in their functioning.

Since then, there is not a single day where I’m not thanking myself to have made such a choice. I’m really nourished by all the different company realities and beautiful people I get to meet and accompany every day.

I still would love to manage an organization one day and it will definitely be using what I’ve learned over the years.
