ABOUT BENOÎT BARS
Driven by a thirst for adventure and intellectual curiosity, I\'ve consistently sought out dynamic environments where solving complex problems is at the heart of daily challenges. My career began on an offshore platform with Saipem, where I learned to manage projects in a high-stakes, technical environment. This first experience introduced me to the demands of adaptability and fast decision-making in a multicultural setting. Seeking a broader understanding of business, I then moved into strategy consulting. My assignments took me across Europe, allowing me to address organizational challenges and support companies in their transformation efforts. Through these experiences, I honed my skills in performance management and transformation. Motivated by a desire for long-term involvement within a company, I joined Tarkett as Head of Group Strategic Project, reporting directly to the Group’s CEO. In this role, I had the opportunity to respond to strategic requests from the CEO or CFO and lead projects that significantly impacted the company’s overall performance. Today, I am ready to embrace new challenges in a role that combines strategy with meaningful impact.
