Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After HEC and Polytechnique, I spent 1 year with the Chasseurs Alpins (Alpine Hunters), then 10 years with OTIS, to understand the realities of sales and management.

I then created two startups, one in eco-friendly hardware, which I sold, and another that failed, in highly regulated sectors (biocides, water). Our go-to-market strategies were varied: prospecting, e-commerce, distribution, etc.

Following severe health issues with my 3-year-old daughter, I am looking for a new professional adventure and, in the meantime, projects to support!

My dual profile as a manager-entrepreneur and my grounding in reality can be particularly useful for you to: design an organization or commercial strategy, train or support teams, or take over from a manager for the necessary time.
