TESTIMONIALS

When we wrote our book on the future of work "El ocaso del empleo" we sought the opinion of a number of specialists in a variety of domains who could illustrate us on the emerging trends that are transforming the world of work. One of the names that rapidly came to our mind was Ariane's. As a global trends expert she provided us with insightful information on emerging behaviours and attitudes that are likely to influence and reshape the employment market, how organizations manage their human capital, and the world of work in general. Ariane also demonstrated to be very responsive, open, and collaborative. It was a pleasure to work with her in that project.”
Ariane made a brilliant explanation on the key global trends that affect our industry and facilitated the group discussion. The attendants were senior marketing executives from different regions. Thanks to Ariane deep knowledge, capability to explain and passion, the meeting was a great success. Everyone really appreciated her contribution and leadership in the meeting and made enthusiastic comments on her performance and contribution.”

Ariane was our monthly Inspiring Innovation speaker and indeed she was. Her quick update about current market trends and her insights about how to understand those trends to adapt them to the success of businesses was probably one of the most inspiring talks we have ever had.”

It was super inspirational and amazing to have a glimpse of Ariane’s world and what she’s seeing in terms of how emotions are driving behavioural trends and how Redbull can tap into this.”
