About Axel

Growth | People Strategy

I support leaders and founders in structuring and accelerating their company, at the intersection of strategy, growth, and organization.

My goal: to transform growing projects or companies into clear, scalable, and high-performing systems, while preserving the trust of your employees.

I intervene on 3 main levers:

  • 1. Strategy & Growth
Clarifying priorities, structuring the business model, building quickly actionable growth strategies.
  • 2. Business Development
Implementing acquisition levers, structuring channels, optimizing the sales pipeline and conversion.
  • 3. HR Structuring
Internal organization, defining roles, structuring teams, and implementing performance and retention-oriented HR strategies.

What I can do, concretely

I founded and developed an independent firm in Tech and Industry in 2022. This experience taught me one thing:success is not just a matter of ideas but of actions and structure.

I have demonstrated my ability to build and scale strong growth dynamics, for example, on visibility and acquisition topics:
- going from 13 to 10,000 subscribers in 1 month
- 14M organic views
- monetization unlocked on Meta in less than 30 days

This type of performance relies on a fine understanding of distribution, attention, and conversion levers, applicable to business projects far beyond content.

HR Structuring

I also support companies in human structuring:
- targeted and useful recruitment
- HR consulting
- healthy performance culture
- employee retention and quality of life at work

Calling on me means enabling the rapid growth of your company without losing the connection or trust of your employees.

    HUMAN RESOURCES
    June 2025 - Today (1 year)
    Limoges, France

    In November 2022, I founded STAFF ON, the first recruitment and HR consulting firm specialized in Tech & Industry in Limoges.

    From the creation of the logo to the website, through the service offering and each signed contract, everything was woven by me with a common thread: offering a premium, human service adapted to each client.

    My approach to HR and recruitment is based on 3 pillars:
    → Authenticity: in complete transparency, for trusting relationships.
    → Proximity: unfailing responsiveness for my clients, that's the key to recruitment.
    → Quality: by favoring tailor-made solutions rather than volume and off-the-shelf solutions.

    I offer a range of services to address all current HR issues:
    - Recruitment: needs assessment, targeted search, selection, and follow-up until the end of the probation period. (90% transformation rate and 100% with my last 7 clients!🏆)
    - HR Consulting: human resources consulting services co-financed by OPCOs and DREETS to help SME managers improve their organization, equip them, retain their employees, or professionalize their HR practices.
    - Continuing education
    - Teaching: I teach various modules at the ISFOGEP HR school, for M2 and Bachelor students.
    - Individual coaching: interview preparation, career support, self-confidence... for job seekers.

    Each year, STAFF ON continues to evolve, and more and more of you are trusting me. And for all of that: a big THANK YOU.
