CTO / Tech & Startup Consulting / Audit / MVP Development

After 12 years at the helm of Wisembly (formerly Balloon), a B2B SaaS startup, I have navigated through different company phases:

- bootstrap creation (Balloon. 3 to 15 employees, €600k revenue)
- successful Series A funding (raised €1.5M with Alven in 2012)
- team scaling (45 employees, 15 in tech, 2 products, FR + UK region, €2M revenue)
- unsuccessful Series B funding
- double layoff plan (from 50 to 35 to 15 employees in 2017)
- hyper-profitability (2018-2020, €1.7M revenue, €300k EBITDA)
- sale and change of partners (2020)
- transformation during COVID phase (switch from in-person to virtual then hybrid)
- new sale and stake/management of Mediactive Group (25 yrs, 120 employees, €20M revenue)

Now in charge of Solutions at Mediactive Group (2 years), based between Corsica and Paris, I reserve a few days a year to lend a hand on various topics:

- technical due diligence
- assistance with recruiting tech partners / CTOs / VPs of Engineering
- implementation of tech profile recruitment strategy + annual evaluations + salary grid
- mentoring/coaching on code and architecture for your teams
- application redesign strategy and technical debt reduction
- React front-end application architecture
- expertise in cybersecurity / compliance / GDPR expectations as an IT enterprise supplier
- review of investor decks and fundraising strategy (Series A)
- review of M&A decks and sale strategy
- MVP design assistance (featureset, technologies, planning)

Short missions only (1-2 days) or spread over time (a few hours per week). On-site or remote.
