About David

The requirement of a partner at the service of your projects.

You are looking for a demanding profile to restructure chaotic growth, transform your processes into performance levers, and manage your complex projects with the rigor of a partner?

My career is rooted in the field: in 15 years, I have managed over 300 projects (Major Clients, SMEs, institutions) before leading the agency Clint (COO then CEO). This complete trajectory, from "doer" to leader, allows me to act as a part-time Operations Director or a partner for your digital projects to manage your priority initiatives.

AREAS OF INTERVENTION

🚀 Digital Performance & Customer Experience (CX/UX):
Website, application, product, or business tool? I take the reins: from strategy to execution, including partner management. I deliver your turnkey project with a high level of demand.

⚙️ Operational Excellence & Efficiency:
Are you or your teams wasting time? I diagnose your workflows to reduce waste (Lean Management), automate your processes, and integrate AI. I train your employees and elevate their operational culture to build an autonomous and high-performing organization.

💎 Strategy, Serenity, and Coaching:
"Sparring partner" to define a clear vision, refine your business model, and manage your performance through precise KPIs. My goal: to break your isolation as a leader and secure your decision-making.

MY TRIPLE PERSPECTIVE
  • The Leader:I understand your profitability challenges and the solitude of the decision-maker.
  • The Advisor:I bring a fresh perspective and the methodology to unlock your potential.
  • The Doer:I master methods and tools (Design, AI, Digital) to deliver concrete solutions.
I intervene with the posture of an operational partner: transparent collaboration, rigorous methodology, and an obsession for real business impact.

David was truly effective in developing our B2B website. He understood our expectations very quickly, managed to extract the key elements to truly reflect our identity, and most importantly, delivered everything within a very short timeframe (about a week). Serious, fast, and relevant work. I recommend him without hesitation.
