About Benoit

My strengths

I have built a diverse track record across various sectors: industry, multi-client consulting, public sector, startups, and SaaS publishers. I adapt quickly to contexts, teams, and products.

Before marketing, I managed optical stores and then engaged in business development in the medical sector. This commercial background anchors a native results-oriented culture and a reflex for sales-marketing alignment, which is evident in the plans I build, not just in what I say.

Six years as CMO for a Big Data and AI SaaS publisher exposed me to all scenarios: comfortable budgets, then almost zero budgets, and integration into a large consulting firm that elevated my standards for excellence and governance. I have built, I have maintained, I have rebuilt.

I am a builder. I am most comfortable when everything still needs to be put in place: early stage, pre-seed, seed. That's where I know how to make a brand, a positioning, and a pipeline emerge with what we have on hand.

What I do

- Fractional CMO
- Part-time CMO
- Ad-hoc consulting missions

The format depends on the challenge and the budget.

My main areas of focus

- Marketing Strategy
- Go-to-Market
- Branding and Positioning
- Sales and Marketing Alignment (S-Marketing)
- Fundraising Decks / White Papers
- Data Pilot Implementation
- Partnerships

What I don't do

- Content writing (blog articles)
- Community Management
- Website maintenance
- SEO writing...
- Technical tool configuration (HubSpot, Salesforce…).

I define and manage, but execution remains with you or your service providers.

In parallel, my experience as a co-founder

I am also co-founder of Timone, a financial co-pilot for SME managers, incubated at Village by Crédit Agricole since October 2025.
