About Bastien

I began my career after completing training in business and finance. My early experiences led me to work within the financial departments of large listed groups, as well as immersing myself in the world of private equity.

It was in 2016 that I decided to embark on entrepreneurship by creating Protifly, an agro-industrial company specializing in insect farming and processing.

I then joined the Redstart team to leverage my experience with large groups and project structuring, in order to support entrepreneurs in their initiatives. This opportunity allowed me to combine my professional background with my passion for entrepreneurship.

Finally, I recently joined the Dafinity teams, within the part-time CFO department.

My experience and skills:

- Financial projections and business plan
- Financial strategy
- Guiding choices based on economic objectives and overall financial coherence (Opex/Capex, ROCE..)
- Management control / P&L optimization
- Preparation of financing files for various company stakeholders (shareholders, board, banks; public actors)
- Structuring and creating the organization required to support company growth based on its sector: quality, maintenance, operations, design office, R&D
- Creation and implementation of an HR policy adapted to the company's challenges and maturity
- Writing specifications, managing tenders, selecting service providers
- Coordination of R&D activities
- Financial communication: maintaining financial reporting
- European lobbying
