About Adrien

Empathetic with a strong desire to support my teams towards excellence, I bring my Strategic and Business vision to my clients.

Always focused on improving production and financial efficiency, I prioritize successfully completing projects to satisfy my clients and optimize their ROI.

As a licensed member of the Action Booster network, we are Economic Development Supporters for VSEs & SMEs. We know that generating wealth requires time and investment, and that pace is essential!

I propose a weekly meeting to establish a strong bond of trust and allow me to quickly gain an operational view of your company's situation. At each meeting, we assess the situation and together define the actions to be taken from one week to the next.

Aware that being supported requires commitment, I propose a 12-month contract and a success-based remuneration based on a win/win principle.

I am competent in the areas of business strategy and management, finance (invoicing, banking relations, cash flow, fundraising, debt collection, optimization), HR processes (recruitment, onboarding), KPI implementation, and team management.

My skills acquired during my 15 years of experience also allow me to implement a serious and thoughtful commercial strategy (using in particular the engagement method and CRM tools) and to conduct negotiations with prospects/clients up to the signing of complex contracts.
Indirect sales are also one of my strengths.

Do you want to grow your Business faster and further, do you want to be supported in the strategy and management of your company, are you experiencing difficulties with team management, or do you wish to improve your profitability?

My skills and my network are at your disposal and ready to listen!
