Her career has taken her to Loto-Québec, Pratt & Whitney, Medisys, Morneau Shepell, and Adecco, where she led teams in talent acquisition, DEI, and employer branding initiatives.

She is also a leading voice on recruitment trends, candidate experience, and employer branding. Today, she shares her expertise in classrooms, professional conferences, podcasts, specialized publications, and with her LinkedIn community of over 25,000 followers.

Caroline offers a new way of thinking about HR: more strategic, more human, and deeply connected to today’s challenges. Her approach is defined by unapologetic rigor, a straightforward tone, and a unique ability to make complex concepts accessible and actionable.

A sought-after speaker known for her energy and clarity, she captivates both HR professionals and managers with timely insights, evidence-based data, and practical takeaways that can be applied right away.
