Since March 2005, Francoise has led Google's Business Operations group, which helps the company to innovate at scale by designing business processes and solving strategic business problems. During her tenure the group has taken on increasingly complex projects such as partnering with the engineering leadership on the operating model for the global engineering organization, leading Google's market development efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa, and leading the company's "green" business operations efforts such as the solar panel installation on the Google campus.
Prior to joining Google, Francoise was Vice President of Business Strategy at Charles Schwab. Previously, she ran Ocean Gem, a wholesale business which imported black pearls from South Pacific; she also worked as a management consultant for Booz Allen Hamilton in Europe and the U.S. Early in her career, she worked in manufacturing for L'Oreal in Japan.
Francoise earned a Masters in Business Administration from Harvard University, and a Masters in Engineering from Institut Catholique d'Arts et Metiers in France. |
