EAGLE SEEN FROM THE INSIDE
"I started out in 2010 as manager of the Bordeaux store before I moved to the head office in Paris, where I was put in charge of the brand's architecture and building development department in 2018. I was able to make the leap into this new role because I had an interest in the discipline, a good understanding of how the shops work and a real love for the company. This exciting job allows me to work in all different ways with several of our departments, including the Retail, Property, Merchandising, Marketing and Brand Image services. Working at head office is a real pleasure, and the environment is very pleasant. We're lucky enough to have a garden filled with trees, which I often use as my office as soon as the weather allows it!"
"I joined AIGLE six years ago as an order picker. My tasks were varied enough to allow me to take on new responsibilities and become team leader for Textiles. The fact that my managers understand and trust me and are always ready to talk has helped me to grow as a professional. My passion for the brand is as strong as ever, and I’m always excited to come into work. The cheerful and friendly atmosphere helps to get the day off to a great start!"
"I joined AIGLE in June 2021 as store manager for the Saint-Germain-des-Prés flagship. This shop is in an exceptional location and it is staffed by passionate teams who make our history and iconic products shine. I joined AIGLE because I wanted to be part of a team where you could get to know people and an authentically French company with unique expertise. Two years after I started, I was offered a new opportunity thanks to the trust and support of the Retail and HR teams. I was able to try out a regional manager’s role and, since it went well, I'm now regional manager for the south of France."
