\n

For this fifth edition of Inside Out, we\u2019re delighted to feature Vanessa Gambert-Merret, Project Manager for Skills Development.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

A graduate of Skema Business School in Nice with a specialization in Human Resources, Vanessa has been working in the field for 26 years, including 20 within the BNP Paribas Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

For the past three years, she\u2019s been actively contributing to the deployment of agility<\/strong> at BNP Paribas Personal Finance, through the Centre of Expertise for Agility & Performance, alongside her main role in skills development. In collaboration with Jean-Pierre Saug\u00e8re (Hub Agite), she co-created the Agile University<\/strong> a training offer designed for all levels of agility. For Vanessa, agility is a powerful lever for upskilling and discovering new career paths. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Hello Vanessa, what is your “Unexpected Job”\u202f? <\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n

I\u2019d describe myself as \u00ab a skills alchemist \u00bb.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Like a lab master, I mix methods, pedagogy, and tailored support to unlock everyone\u2019s potential. My goal: to foster sustainable skills that meet tomorrow\u2019s challenges.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

My role is very diverse and that\u2019s exactly what I love about it!<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n
    \n
  • I design<\/strong> custom training <\/strong>paths aligned with our strategic plan. It\u2019s a true team effort with HRBPs and training coordinators. <\/li>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n
  • I co-lead<\/strong> agility awareness sessions with agile coaches. In just one year, over 900 employees were trained through hands-on, playful formats open to all. <\/li>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n
  • I launched <\/strong>My PF Tube in 2019, our internal learning YouTube platform. It enables everyone to learn and share knowledge \u2014 today, it features over 200 tutorials! <\/li>\n<\/div><\/ul>\n<\/div>
    \n

    ?\u200d\u2642\ufe0f What’s your “little something extra”?<\/h2>\n<\/div>
    \n

    Outside of BNP Paribas Personal Finance, I have a big passion: tennis. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    A lifelong fan of racket sports, I took part in the We Are Tennis Cup,<\/strong> an internal Group competition open to employees of all skill levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    Together with my teammates<\/strong> from the Finance department (Jean-Charles Brault, Yannick Duluc, Nicolas Vitry), we won the French national title in 2023 and 2024,<\/strong> and were crowned BNP Paribas Group world champions both years.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    The cherry on top? Playing the final on the legendary courts of Roland-Garros, including the Simonne-Mathieu court, in front of a cheering crowd. It was an incredible human and athletic experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    What I take away from it: when kindness, team spirit, and joy come together, you can achieve great things.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    This adventure inspires me daily at work, it reminds me how collaboration and passion can transform potential, on the court and in the workplace.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    ? Because life is not just about work, what are your “3 Blissful Moments a Day”?<\/h2>\n<\/div>
    \n

    1<\/strong> –<\/strong> Sharing and laughing with my colleagues: <\/strong>I love simple chats, inside jokes, and spontaneous bursts of laughter. People often say my laugh is contagious and I take that as a compliment! <\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    2 – Quality time with my family: <\/strong>those moments of connection, affection, and bonding with my loved ones are essential to my balance. They ground me and recharge my batteries. <\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    3 – A good workout: <\/strong>sports energize me and clear my mind. Whether it\u2019s a padel match with colleagues or friends or a swim session, I always come out feeling refreshed. <\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    \u2728 The mascot has a magic wand, what are your 3 wishes for BNP Paribas Personal Finance?<\/h2>\n<\/div>
    \n

    1 – A fulfilling and supportive work environment: <\/strong>a space where everyone can grow, learn, and thrive. I truly believe that a positive climate drives both engagement and performance. <\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    2 – A skills-sharing platform:<\/strong> I\u2019d love to see the creation of an internal \u201cSkills Marketplace,\u201d where employees could offer or request support on specific topics.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n

    3 – The ability to take on multiple roles within the company:<\/strong> I\u2019d like to see a \u201cslashing\u201d <\/em>culture develop, where people can explore and express their different talents across BNP Paribas Personal Finance.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
