Damien Godard

Senior executive with over 25 years of experience at the intersection of international business development and complex key account management. I undertake transition missions with a single objective: **create value quickly, sustainably, and with no ramp-up time**.

My strength lies in my ability toenter an unfamiliar environment, understand its challenges in depth— human, commercial, operational — and **structure action where it is lacking**. I have managed portfolios worth €100 million annually across 19 countries, renegotiated multi-year strategic agreements, and won top-tier accounts (Louis Vuitton, Dior, Hermès, Schneider Electric).

Each mission has taught me to adapt quickly, unite stakeholders, and **deliver measurable results within tight deadlines**.

Trilingual in French, English, and Japanese, I have operated in demanding multicultural contexts — Europe, Asia, America — which has equipped me with rare **relational agility**, essential in transition to quickly build trust at all levels of the organization.

My positioning in transition management is that of **an expert who commits**, not a consultant who observes. I take charge, I get involved, I transfer knowledge — and I leave behind a stronger organization than I found.

Available for missions in the industry, packaging, automotive, electronics, or supply chain sectors, with a particular appetite for changing environments where expertise and strategic clarity make the difference.
