Pia Abildgaard, intercultural trainer in management

PORTRAIT OF PIA ABILDGAARD

Originally born in Denmark, I have now lived in France for over thirty years. My professional career has been built chiefly within international development consulting agencies. During my career as an international marketing director, I successfully completed more than 250 missions, working alongside various French and Scandinavian companies. Following the management positions I held, I now capitalise on good management practices I learnt and a thorough knowledge of the export industry. Since 2008, I have decided to take a step back from this experience and now share my expertise on Franco-Scandinavian axes as a consultant. I also train in Great Britain on behalf of French and Scandinavian companies that have offices over there.
