Clotilde is a Project Manager, Business owner, and Trainer. Her professional journey started in 2002 after a degree in IT, it was also her first contact with project management on the ground and guess what? She fell in love with this job and decided to make a career in project management. 11 years later she became PMP certified. 2 years after my certification, she joined the big team of PMI volunteers, in order to give back to the profession and to my community. Because she accumulated experiences and learned many lessons in various areas both in a national and international environment, in January 2018 she created The V-PMO (The V-PMO stands for The Virtual Project Management Office) to accompany and address individual and organisations in their project needs: Pre-project work, Project management, and Training.
