While working as a practicing lawyer, Nathalie Grenache landed on a career in HR “completely by accident” after a teammate requested her legal assistance with an expat employee’s immigration status. Grenache now serves as the Senior VP of People and Culture at Sanofi, a Paris-based global pharmaceutical company. She is based in Boston and is responsible for providing strategic HR leadership to Sanofi’s North American and Global Specialty Care operations.
In this episode of the People + Strategy podcast, Grenache joins host Mo Fathelbab to discuss topics including what HR leaders in the U.S. can learn from the rest of the world about diversity and inclusion, the importance of viewing talent acquisition as a function that stretches beyond HR, her thoughts on the future of succession planning, and much more.
Among some of her insights:
- "I define myself as a business leader with an expertise in HR."
- “I fully believe, and I shared this with my colleagues, that we're all responsible for talent."
- “People will look at the people you promote as the role model as a leader, the behaviors that we exemplify."
