And by the way, she is phenomenally good with numbers - can add several large numbers just by looking at the page on which they are written.
After seven years with Big Four audit companies in Europe and California, Victoria joined the Bollore Group in 2018, and has since been a continuous support to the growth of Blue Systems Smart Mobility division.
Victoria speaks four languages and has lived in six different European countries before moving to the US seven years ago.
