About Céline

I am an independent consultant specializing in commercial strategy, sales development, and strategic support for leaders and teams. I assist organizations (VSEs/SMEs, scale-ups, and mid-cap companies) in their growth challenges, commercial structuring, and business transformation to generate measurable impact from the first weeks.

After more than 10 years of experience in consulting and management, including several years leading teams and strategic projects, I held commercial and executive management positions — notably as CEO of the Spanish subsidiary of eXalt, a digital transformation consulting firm (Paris-Madrid). There, I led commercial deployment, structured differentiating offers, and supported revenue acceleration with international clients.

Today, I offer operational and strategic freelance missions in the following areas:

âś… Commercial Development
definition or optimization of prospecting strategy
sales funnel & pipeline structuring
B2B acquisition actions deployment

âś… Commercial Strategy & Business Transformation
performance analysis and priority recommendations
definition of positioning, offers, and value propositions
coaching for leaders, sales managers, and teams

âś… Strategic Business Support
support for decision-making in scaling phases
support for internationalization or diversification
alignment between business strategy and operations

I am recognized for my ability to combine strategic vision, analytical rigor, and pragmatic execution, while placing sustainable growth and human alignment at the heart of my interventions.
