Caline Habib
Assistant Product manager, L'oreal Canada - DCA - Vichy
My aim here ?
- Build a strong professional network so as to exchange experiences and advices,
- Be in contact with people I can do some projects with,
- The world is full of opportunities it is important to be aware of them.
But first, let me introduce myself :
Bio-industrial engineer specialized in the R&D field (with Minors in quality insurance and marketing), I've acquired different skills through my five years of engineering studies and my work experiences, done mainly in Montreal.
Through my years of experience related to the dermo-cosmetic field, I had the opportunity to be a R&D project manager, a Quality control manager, a Quality director assistant, or even an assistant in the clinical trials department... before going to what I'm passionate about : marketing.
But it's not all : I'm currently doing a DESS (masters) in Business Management in HEC Montreal, so as to have a better overall view of companies and develop my managerial skills.
As I'm a Canadian permanent resident, I'm also willing to enlarge my contacts here in Canada/Montreal. Don't hesitate contacting me for further information and if you heard about some openings.
Other extra-professional skills :
> Strong involvement in cultural and humanitarian associations since many years (I've always been in the executive committees)
> Strong involvement in cultural and community events.
> Strong interest in art : Photography : http://www.theevilbaron.ca and writing.
