The IT Bug

During a first professional experience in Tunisia, with a publisher of insurance market dedicated solutions, the computing bug takes hold of the young woman. She has found her way. However, the want of a double qualification brings her to study project management. In her view, management and IT are as much indissociable as complementary. After being named valedictorian of her class and obtaining her degree in management computing, Nermine will soon complete her cycle of studies with the defense of her master thesis in strategic management and consulting.

Joining 540°

When one joins an IT services company whose business consists in deploying ERPs, one wishes that your own integration in the enterprise will ideally happen. “From my first interview with Alexandre, I perceived this was a field favorable to motivation at work. For me, working with passion is simply capital. When you feel right somewhere, you work better. When you heart agrees, everyone is a winner” underlines Nermine. Three months after her integration with FiveForty°, that she judges to have been perfectly fluid and successful in all respects, Nermine remembers feeling welcome as soon as she arrived. She appreciates the people-oriented and accessible side of everyone as well as the team and sharing spirit: “If one of us finds a new feature at Microsoft, it is shared with the others. It’s professional and friendly at the same time.” 

A princess childhood

“We did not have a house of our own up to age six, as my father was the general manager of a chain of major hotels in Tunisia. That’s where we lived. So, I spent my time at the pools, surrounded by superb backdrops playing, meeting foreign children, immersing while having fun in a thousand and one cultures.” On her mother’s side, an evening gown stylist, she created for her magnificent princess dresses. Bliss for a little girl. And, as if to complete this fairy tale, Nermine remembers: “Even my beautiful white horse’s name was Prince”, she smiles, recalling her rides with him, in the water, along the golden beaches of Hammamet.

One last dream

These days, well anchored in the present and turned to the future, Nermine has for herself the goal of deepening her knowledge of the D365 solution to go beyond just project management and evolve towards consulting in her PMO specialization: “Microsoft solutions keep evolving constantly, so to master them, it’s to guarantee my own development into consulting.” Before returning to her current tasks, Nermine confides to us a dream she prefers to remain unrealizable: to hug a polar bear! Nothing less.°
