Marc Ernst, the founder and director of HRMinfo.eu, talks in French with Maud Larochette, Chief Finance Officer & HR director at N-Side.

Ms Larochette is French and this episode of HR Talks is therefore a French-language edition.

Maud Larochette is one of those HR directors who is also responsible for the financial management of her company. She was also interim CEO of N-Side for a while.

Her unique profile allows her to zoom out, to do HR with a helicopter view. And by extension, to do the same in the field of financial management.

N-SIDE is a deep tech company. Founded more than 20 years ago, it is headquartered in Louvain-la-Neuve and also operates in the US market where it also has an office. 

In life sciences, N-SIDE streamlines the clinical supply chain of pharmaceutical and biotech companies by accelerating clinical plans, reducing risk and eliminating drug waste. Half of the world's major pharmaceutical groups use N-SIDE's technologies and solutions.

The company has over 200 employees (it should double that number by 2027) and employs more than 30 nationalities. It is also a very women-friendly company as it has 40% women in management positions.

N-SIDE was recognised last year as a Trends Gazelle, as a fast-growing company. It was also awarded by Deloitte as Best Managed Company and won both the Great Place to Work and Best Workplace in Belgium certifications.
