About Christophe

The leaders of industrial SMEs who contact me generally don't have a one-off problem to solve. They have an organization that works, but it costs them too much in steering energy. Too many decisions go up to them. Priorities pile up without being resolved. Teams expect arbitration instead of preparing it.
My job is to provide sustainable support to the leader in this arbitration work. Not to replace a manager, not as a consultant who produces a report and leaves. I am regularly present with the leader, over the long term, building knowledge of the company month after month.

Some representative situations:
  • Overhaul of steering tools when existing dashboards no longer support decision-making
  • Support for a commercial growth phase that overwhelms the organization, management, and industrial logistics
  • Structuring a supply chain or production function that has been built up over time and needs to be realigned
  • Taking back control of a site or activity whose indicators are deteriorating without a clear identified cause

My background: 20 years in operational management (supply chain, production, multi-site projects) in the manufacturing, metallurgy, energy, and paper industries. ICF certified coach.
Companies: 20 to 250 employees. Main region: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, with travel throughout France.

The first contact is not a sales meeting. It's a mutual qualification. I don't work with every leader who contacts me, and not everyone who contacts me is ready for this type of support. The goal of this first meeting is to verify this.
