On Wednesday, April 22, we recognize Administrative Professionals’ Day — an opportunity to highlight the people who keep our organization running efficiently every day.
At RYAM, administrative professionals are critical to how we operate. Their precision, adaptability, and strong service mindset enable teams to stay focused, aligned, and productive.
Today, we’re spotlighting Marie Hallopeau, Administrative Assistant with our R&D team in Gradignan, France.
Since joining RYAM in 2018, Marie has supported the R&D team across a broad range of responsibilities, while also coordinating travel for leadership both within France and internationally. She values the diversity of her role and the opportunity to collaborate across functions.
Her approach is defined by two key strengths: precision and responsiveness — essential in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Looking ahead, Marie is interested in expanding her impact beyond day-to-day operations. With the BRC located near leading universities, she sees opportunities to support initiatives like open house events and community engagement programs such as Bordeaux’s Fête de la Science.
A few quick insights:
- Starts her day with a strong cup of coffee
- Recommends the series Mad Men
- Describes herself as curious, reliable, and service-oriented
Today, we recognize and thank all of our administrative professionals. Their contributions are essential to how RYAM operates and succeeds.
