Bénédicte Brouard
, a dynamic woman in her fifties, created B-Ref
in 2002. A solid education (Institut d'Etudes Politiques Paris, MBA at University of Paris-Dauphine, degree in history from the Sorbonne) reinforced her spontaneous intellectual curiosity and her ability to adapt to complex environments.
During her 25 year career in management at Sonepar, as Director of External Relations (Finance/Purchasing/Sales/Development) and then as Executive Vice President , she made an extensive contribution to the group's development while acquiring a varied background in B to B and practical experience in international markets.

Then came two new ventures. Bénédicte learned about the Telecoms industry as the General Manager of Coriolis Télécom, then returned to the building sector as President of NFI and as Director of French Affairs at Philipp Holzmann International.
Remembering that Sonepar was a startup that succeeded, she decided to focus her energy on developing businesses by both working in venture capital with Lafayette International and by creating B-Ref.
During this period, she attended IHEDN (Institut des Hautes Etudes de Défense Nationale) and is active as the President of the Paris Committee of External Trade Consultants.

Her interest in people and her joie de vivre have kept her involved in several clubs, forums and work groups on topics ranging from art de vivre to social interaction and strategic thinking.
