Can you tell us a bit about yourself, your educational background, and any key experiences that shaped your career journey?
I’d say I have a truly international background! Although I’m French, I grew up in Italy and pursued my bachelor’s degree in Spain, including an exchange semester in Seoul. My Master in Management (MiM) studies at ESCP then took me to Torino, Berlin, and Paris, enriching my global perspective.
Since my teenage years, I’ve contributed to my family’s brand, specializing in bespoke handcrafted bicycles. This experience cultivated my entrepreneurial mindset and passion for innovation. After working as a Market Insights Analyst at L’Oréal Luxe, I realized I wanted to get back to an entrepreneurial and fast-paced environment, which led me to Consultport.
How did you first learn about Consultport, and what attracted you to apply for an Associate role?
I was introduced to Consultport by the Hiring Manager. During our first call, I was captivated by the company’s mission to connect top-tier consultants with businesses in need of their expertise. The opportunity to work in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment with an international scope immediately resonated with me.
What was your recruitment experience like? Was there anything about the process that stood out to you?
The recruitment process was swift, smooth, and professional. It included a series of structured steps: a 30-minute interview with HR, a 45-minute interview with the Hiring Manager, a 45-minute interview with the Co-Founder, a 60-minute client call roleplay, and an on-site visit with a reference check. I appreciated the HR team’s prompt responses and clear communication throughout the process, which set a positive tone from the start.
How was your onboarding experience at Consultport? What aspects of the training and induction helped you feel prepared for your role?
The onboarding program at Consultport is well-structured and easy to follow. It starts with a 9-day training period where you’ll learn everything you need to get started. The main goal is to help you understand the roles of different teams and stakeholders you’ll interact with daily, to be familiar with their functions, and to collaborate effectively from the start.
Some sessions are self-training, meaning you can go at your own pace, while others are live sessions where you get to interact directly with team members and ask questions. There’s even an ‘Onboarding Game,’ which adds a bit of fun to apply what you’re learning! It’s flexible, but the goal is to finish everything by the end of the program.
What I really appreciated was how practical and interactive the training was. It’s not just sitting through slides and studying, you’re actually practicing the skills you’ll need. By the end, you feel confident and ready to hit the ground running.
Can you describe a typical day in your Associate role at Consultport?
My day typically involves a mix of strategic planning—such as researching prospects and preparing outreach strategies—client interactions, including calls and follow-ups, and project deliveries. Balancing these tasks requires clear prioritization and the use of CRM tools to stay organized.
What do you enjoy most about working at Consultport? Are there any unique aspects of the company culture that stand out to you?
What I enjoy most is the people. The team is young, energetic, and international, creating a vibrant and supportive atmosphere. The culture here encourages collaboration and innovation, with everyone eager to help one another succeed.
What I also appreciate is the ownership you have over your tasks. At Consultport, you’re encouraged to ‘be the captain of your ship’—you have a lot of responsibility, but you’re also credited for your successes. In the end, it’s all about delivering results. While this can be challenging at times, it’s a fantastic opportunity to grow, learn, and truly make an impact.
