About Francois

A graduate of ESCP with 25 years of experience (including 15 in executive committees), I support General and Financial Directorates in structuring their performance. My career has been forged in demanding, multi-site environments: leaders in the restaurant and retail sectors (Flo, Bertrand, Ducasse Paris) and major industrial players (Aprolis).

Today, as a Transition Manager, I work with mid-sized companies, networks, and LBO-backed businesses to secure their financial outcomes. My promise: to make your data reliable to inform strategic decisions and unite your teams around a results-oriented culture.

Financial & Strategic Management
As a true Business Partner, I model your business plans, structure your budgeting processes (forecasts, PMT), and finely analyze your margins. My goal: to provide your executive committee and investors with a clear, forward-looking, and robust view of your profitability and cash flow.

Data & BI Transformation
An expert in deploying decision-support tools (Power BI, IBM PA), I automate your reporting and ensure reliable financial closings. I transform time-consuming processes into agile decision-support tools, guaranteeing an immediate understanding of business activity without disrupting operations.

Management & Relational Intelligence
Financial expertise requires employee buy-in. Accustomed to taking over finance departments of up to 15 people at short notice, I provide relay management for your finance division. I support teams with pedagogical guidance to translate financial challenges into concrete commercial levers.
