About Fabien

Strategy and organization consultant with 25 years of experience, I know what your future buyers or acquirers will be looking for in your company, in what order, and what causes the price to drop.

Partner at Bain & Company then Senior Partner at EY, where I built a practice of 30 partners and €120M. Upstream: acquisition strategy and target selection. During the transaction: over 20 strategic and commercial due diligence assignments, for industrial companies and private equity funds alike. Downstream: about ten post-acquisition integrations, including Kraft / Cadbury in continental Europe, and the carve-out of an asset management company with $650 billion in assets under management, on the seller's side.

Today, as an independent, I do this work for the leaders of medium-sized companies and ETI: preparation for a sale or transfer, to a fund or an industrial player in the sector, strategic diagnosis, growth and commercial efficiency, costs and EBITDA. Over €100M in additional annual revenue generated at EY on growth programs.

My analyses are based on artificial intelligence tools that I have developed: what used to take six weeks now takes three, and the gain is in the scope covered and the price.

    Context
    Independent strategy consulting firm. Leaders of ETI, small and mid-cap private equity funds, financial institutions. I do not implement: my opinion on service providers remains without conflict of interest.

    What I do
    • Sale and transfer: twenty years of due diligence for funds. I tell you what they will find in your company before they find it, and what needs to be corrected before the data room.
    • Commercial due diligence: market, competition, market share, business plan challenge. On the fund side for acquisition, on the company leader side for preparation.
    • Strategy: value creation plan, business model, AI roadmap, investment arbitration.
    • Costs and organization: structural diagnosis, zero-based budgeting, pricing audit, process automation.
    • Second opinion: independent review of an ongoing program or a firm's deliverable.

    Results
    • An outside-in commercial due diligence takes 1 week: I have industrialized the analysis and production of deliverables with AI tools that I have built.
    • Clients: Adecco, Tessi, Bureau Vallée, Jimmy Fairly, M-Cube, France Valley... Expert contributions on assignments led by third-party firms: Allianz IARD, SwissLife, Volkswagen Financial Services.
