About Guy

Madam, Sir,
I suggest you take a step back from the day-to-day management of your company by relying on the triptych: experience - agility - commitment for sustainable and measured growth.

Grow your business by leveraging my skills in an outsourced capacity, on a project basis or long-term, depending on your needs.

By your side to analyze, diagnose, and recommend... but also to act, that's where my real added value lies: bridging the gap between consulting and operations.

My experience in commerce, management, and business leadership, both in France and internationally, allows me to work with you across the entire value chain. Because what drives a company's growth is not only selling well but also optimizing across the entire value chain, particularly by identifying and correcting hidden costs that are often the cause of weakened profitability.

I propose to become your CEO on a chosen basis, in agreement with your needs.

Assisting you from analysis to recommendations, I also act with you in operational implementation with clear and quantified objectives for the sustainable growth of your company.

Some of my skills at your service:
- Business strategy
- Management optimization (hidden cost detection)
- Preparation for business transfer
- Support for business acquisition
- Commercial and International management
- Setting up distribution networks
- Global coaching

I work on a mission (one-off) or functional (medium-term) basis, chosen as needed. I can also act as a transition manager, CEO or Commercial Director.

Let's talk about your project... with no obligation.
