Bettina Descours

International trade

She works as an international trade consultant, supporting companies in their development strategy. After several years as an export manager in industry, she is regularly called upon to deal with issues linked to the technicalities of international trade. She has travelled the world negotiating on several continents: Africa, America and Asia, on both private and public markets (calls for tender). Resolutely multilingual, her command of five languages has been an asset and she still works regularly in English.

She also facilitates the integration of this complex data into the day-to-day practices of companies' import and export departments. In this capacity, she runs the "international" collection for a publisher and has published 6 simple, educational works on the subjects of international sales and purchasing contracts, import and export negotiations, incoterms, customs, international logistics and securing international payments. She has also previously published two books on European issues and the European Constitution.

She works with ORSYS on these topics and, more broadly, on modules for project management, continuous improvement, service management, customer relations, and commercial and personal development, in both inter-company and in-house training.

A graduate of the SKEMA business school in Sophia Antipolis, she then chose to complete her training with a DEA in Education Sciences (Lyon Lumière University), focusing on the issue of European mobility and the transposability of intra-European diplomas.

Her professional aim is to interest the public in the topics covered by using a wide range of examples to make them accessible and encourage transposition and appropriation. Behind all knowledge, interpersonal relations are fundamental!

On a personal level, his passions include the sea and sailing, Provençal traditions (cots) and animals. As for his travels, they remain a must for him!
