Marie Beaupré
​European Partner
Executive Coach, Consultant & Facilitator


​Marie has 20 years of management committee experience as a HR Director, and has had the privilege of working with visionary leaders such as Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon.com) and Antoine Riboud (founder of the Danone Group). In each of these situations she translated global vision into concrete, sustainable actions and to anticipate the individual and systemic effects of change.
​
Her skills  drove her career into companies that had to face the following specific challenges:
  • Huge development stakes (Microsoft and Danone Group)
  • Launch and industrialisation phases (Amazon.fr and wonderbox.com)
  • Transition management from a French traditional company to a competitive international group, growing internally and externally (the Chantelle Group)
Through these experiences, Marie has developed a real passion for team leadership and people development and had the chance to work with management teams from all over Europe, the United States, North Africa and  Asia (Thailand).

Ten years ago, Marie created her own company and delivers coaching and training for management teams, targeting both collective and individual accomplishments, in order to unleash collective intelligence. The NCS program based on neurosciences, executive coaching and mindfulness practice is one of her main methods to coach transformation and develop leadership skills like awareness, decision making, vision and anticipation, communication, and metacognition.
 
Marie brings a strong Humanist Foundation and the conviction that people can grow, change and enrich their skills and achievements. This includes an “ecologic approach“ of the human being, that respects specificities, strengths, weaknesses, identity and values of each person.
