During my PAF project I had full freedom to shape something from scratch – and own it fully.
Role
Pauline joined Helexia Brazil as a Project Manager to spearhead the launch of their Energy Services, focusing on innovation and market expansion.
Responsibilities
She was tasked with designing and implementing the Innovation Program and establishing the “New Businesses” team. In this role, she developed new ideas into real market opportunities, managed a cross-functional team of 18, and set up a decision-making board to guide innovation strategy.
