About Jean-Baptiste

🥇Ex-Southbridge (Spinoff of McKinsey), Institut Pasteur, Sopra Steria Next, Institut Imagine...
My hybrid scientific (PharmD) + engineering (Arts et Métiers) + commercial (HEC Paris) DNA allows for a unique approach: combining analytical rigor, entrepreneurial agility, and systemic vision.

🎯Your challenges, my specialty:
I transform sector complexities into sustainable competitive advantages. With 10 years of cross-functional expertise in pharmaceuticals, biomedical engineering, and business strategy, I support decision-makers on:

🌍 International Expansion: Pan-African deployment (i3 - Gates Foundation), export/import optimization (Horizon Pharma), transcontinental partnerships (Institut Pasteur)

🔍 Market Intelligence within a McKinsey Spinoff (Southbridge): Sector benchmarking, quantitative-qualitative market research, differentiating positioning

⚙️ Supply Chain Optimization: AI algorithms for inventory management (Overhaul of a WMS at Horizon Pharma), digital transformation (French healthcare ecosystem - Ségur du Numérique)

🏛️ Public Strategy: Design of health reforms (Ségur du Numérique in France, Ministry of Health Morocco, Ministry of Health Senegal)


Eloquent achievements:
🪙 Scale-up of a pharma startup (Horizon Pharma) from €6M annual revenue to €50M in less than 3 years

💰 Valuation at €3M for a CleanTech startup (Washminute) in Morocco in less than 12 months
