About François-Xavier

For 8 years, I was a founder and CPO.
I launched, tested, iterated, threw away, started over.

I built products from scratch, recruited teams, aligned visions when nothing was clear anymore.

I learned to be simple, fast, and useful.
Not to tick off features. To serve a goal.

Today, I put this experience to the service of others.

I am a freelance Product Manager.

I step in when a v1 needs to take off, a product strategy needs structuring, a team needs unblocking, or the foundation for a meaningful product needs laying.

What I do:
– I structure the different product phases: Discovery > Problem Framing > Solution Design > Delivery > GTM
– I coach junior PMs and CEOs to teach them to think “problem” before “feature”
– I train product teams in autonomy and prioritization
– I obviously help with operational tasks (writing and prioritizing EPICs & US, rituals...) to accelerate your teams

My results:
– 6 products launched
– 3 teams recruited and trained
– CEOs / CPOs who stop micromanaging
– 0 useless slide. 0 gadget feature.
