About Charles

Your digital strategy isn't delivering what it should. Your CRM, data, and acquisition teams aren't speaking the same language. Your digital and business projects are progressing slower than expected. This is exactly where I come in.

For 3 years at **Philip Morris International**, I led the digital strategy for the launch of cigarette alternatives (e-commerce, CRM, data, acquisition, and customer experience), managing a team of 7 experts in one of the most highly regulated environments in the world. Before that, I supported large corporations on their digital transformation and growth projects at **Square Management**.

In parallel, I founded **Asteos Partners**, a network of 15 independent experts specializing in insurance and wealth management, which I built from scratch: strategy, recruitment, structuring, partnerships, and business development.

Today, I work on consulting assignments 1-2 days a week, acting as a sparring partner or advisor to management teams seeking strategic, pragmatic, and results-oriented support.

    Founder and President of Asteos Partners, an MLM network of 15 independent experts specializing in insurance and wealth management.

    I built the project from A to Z, from strategy definition to operational execution: recruitment of experts, structuring the model, implementing tools and methods, training and managing the network, as well as overseeing business development.

    I also developed strategic partnerships with insurers, banks, and asset management companies to support growth and enhance the network's offering.
