As Head of LinkedIn France, Fabienne Arata (SKEMA 1988) observes the labour market from a singular vantage point. In Glimpse, the alumna offers a sharp analysis of professional mobility, the evolution of skills, and the central role of networks in a global economy that is not slowing down, but reshaping itself. The full interview can be found in Glimpse magazine.

In this interview for Glimpse, Fabienne Arata, Country Manager of LinkedIn France, unpacks the major forces currently shaping the global labour market. Drawing on a network of more than one billion members across 237 countries, she sees no retreat from globalisation, but a reconfiguration of career paths.

Yes, the first emerging skill driving mobility is, of course, AI. What is now called AI literacy means the ability to prompt, to understand the tools, and to integrate them into everyday professional life.

Mobility remains at the heart of these shifts, driven by internal corporate dynamics and enabled by data and artificial intelligence. AI-related skills, behavioural skills, and green skills are becoming key levers of employability, in a context marked by the rapid obsolescence of know-how.

 

The strength of networks: a constant for Fabienne Arata

Fabienne Arata also points to one enduring constant: the role of networks. With equal skills, having strong connections remains a gateway to opportunity, revealing the persistent mechanisms of social determinism beneath the surface.
