About David

A MAN OF PROJECTS

Graduated in SME management and development (DESS Reims), I have held General Manager / Chairman and CEO positions in entities of different sectors and sizes for nearly 30 years.

After being General Manager in the social housing sector (1% Housing), I then joined the BATIGERE Group where, for over ten years, I participated - in various general management roles - in the development of the Group and its various entities.

In 2004, I decided to go it alone by co-founding a company dedicated to the creation of wooden houses (Be Wood).

With a view to developing renewable energies, in 2008 I founded a Group dedicated to professional photovoltaics (Design office, installation company, financial holding) which ceased operations following the 2011 moratorium.

Leveraging my international contacts, I reactivated a dormant company to develop an export business for French products (wines, fine sweet and savory groceries) and services (consulting in the acquisition and management of vineyards, travel) mainly to Asia. With the motto: the French Art of Living.

AND NETWORKS

With expertise in strategic, commercial, marketing, financial areas... and rich experience in various professional and geographical sectors acquired throughout my career, I have decided to offer my know-how to companies or leaders who wish to be supported in the creation, development, or restructuring of their projects.
