• Christofle: A manufacturer, distributor, and retailer in luxury art and silversmith since 1830, with 450 employees and 65 stores in 60 countries. She was based in Paris, France:
  • As Chief Digital Officer, Geraldine reported to the CEO and was a member of the Executive Committee. She restructured the digital team, increased revenues from eCommerce, and enhanced the company’s online EBITDA.
