About Aurélien

Experienced manager in financial steering, operational performance, and executive support, I address profitability, cash flow, structuring, and business model challenges.

This positioning is based on 18 years of multi-sector experience in various environments: audit (Deloitte, Crédit Agricole), private equity (Smalt Capital), general management, and consulting for executives.

My background allows me to approach a company's issues from three complementary angles:
  • Financial perspective: In-depth understanding of profitability/cash flow/investment balance
  • Organizational perspective: Analysis of processes, resources, structuring, and internal dynamics
  • Strategic perspective: Positioning, business model, value creation levers
Accustomed to demanding contexts and growing environments, I employ an approach that is analytical, operational, and pragmatic to sustainably improve performance.
