What Our Clients Say

Some testimonials

Nadia managed to convince a senior European smart city expert to relocate to Bangkok and lead as a Consultant our IoT product management and operations for a year to set up a new strategy for the region. She had a deep understanding of our company culture and markets and guided us through each step, from defining the role, the consultancy framework and to negotiating the salary package.

Jean-François Gebhart
Chief Operating Officer · Bangkok, Thailand

Up We Move is a true partner who understands our tire business inside out and has demonstrated strong competencies and engagement in evaluating qualified regional candidates and on-boarding them throughout Asia.

Timon De Graaff
East Asia & Oceania Talent Acquisition & Employer Attractivity Manager

As part of our VIE “Young Graduate Voluntary” program, we welcome over 100 French graduates per year who are employed by French companies. Up We Move has designed a cross-cultural boost program that trains the young graduates on the Thai workplace culture, interactions with the Thai leadership and working codes & behaviors to speed up their integration and enable them to perform at their highest potential. This has significantly improved the satisfaction rate of their employers and their understanding of their host country.

Estelle David
Previous Country Manager · Business France Thailand

I have used Up We Move Coaching services to provide special coaching support to some of my Thai mid-managers who were showcasing behavioral problems impacting team dynamics. It has been very powerful and I would definitely do it again.

Claire Souchet
Managing Director · Bangkok, Thailand

As an early-stage IoT start-up, we had limited ability to attract an experienced International Sales Manager for Europe and APAC. Thanks to its trusted network, Nadia sourced the perfect profile combining smart lighting and metering experience.

Alexander Pelov
Chief Executive Officer · Rennes, France

As part of a difficult recruitment assignment in the Insurance Industry, Up We Move successfully introduced highly skilled candidates from Singapore & Malaysia and trained my internal talent acquisition team on head-hunting methodologies.

Individual Coaching

What our coaching clients say

Nadia has been a wonderful professional coach as she focused on my individual needs. This one-to-one tailored professional development helped me learning to set better goals, provided valuable insight and helped me gain perspective in terms of thinking strategically, and establishing clear, measurable goals for myself. Nadia is offering tailored development, enhancing personal impact and performance. She truly helped me take the right decisions in a very short timeframe.

Karine Pouget
Protocol Assistant for the U.S. Ambassador to NATO

I had the chance to be coached by Nadia during my job search in Thailand. She made me clarify my speech, develop my arguments, work on my strengths and weaknesses. I very much appreciated her close follow-up and continuous support. I could benefit from her knowledge of South East Asia. She is a great listener. And above all, I thank her for the dynamism and necessary positive energy she transmitted!

Isabelle Rivière-Cazaux
ASEAN Sales & Marketing Manager, Citel

Sophie is a great coach and she helped me beyond my expectations! I was blocked and somehow lost, in the middle of a career transition that I had not really chosen. Sophie helped me create my own plans and define new career goals, instead of staying passive and negative. With her I learned how to ask myself the key questions to build a new vision, from my skills and from my experiences. She is a fantastic listener and the various tools she used were very effective, especially to get more clarity about my values and my personal strengths and weaknesses.

Marc
Career Transition Client · Shanghai, China

I was really disoriented by a professional relationship and I asked Sophie to help me. Her feedback was just incredibly quick and helpful: she replaced that relationship in its whole context and showed me it was just the visible part of the iceberg. In one session this point was clear and I could address the right dysfunction. Sophie is focused, attentive and she is really a good listener. She always asked me to go deeper and helped me discover who I really am, and what I want to do. Sophie has a positive energy and really cares for people.

Marguerite
Coaching Client · Paris, France

I have been coached by Nadia on a regular basis since 2018. Initially, I needed guidance and concrete support in navigating an internal re-organization and securing a suitable position back in France after an expatriation. Nadia helped me performing during the interviews, negotiating my salary package, coping with the workload and uncertainties involved in a re-patriation project. Once in my new role, her coaching was absolutely key in finding my manager posture with my new team and re-gaining confidence and trust in a completely new work environment. I am very grateful.
