Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After a first professional life of 27 years as an officer in the army, having held management positions (commander, chief of staff to the HR Director of the Minister of Defense), I left the army in 2011 and became a franchisor in the fitness sector for a few years.

In 2014, I created my firm (we are 3 partners), specializing in support for:

- Business consolidation;

- Their subsequent duplication on small or large scales and network creation (franchise, brand license, subsidiary, etc.) if the strategy and ambition are there;

- Supporting networks in their development (optimization of organization, scaling up and progressive structuring of the network head, etc.).

I support and have supported many entrepreneurs of all levels (VSEs and SMEs) on these issues.

I have supported many franchise networks in creating their brand (becoming a franchisor from a duplicable concept), in reorganizing network heads, in recruiting franchisees.

I have worked in the following fields: fitness, exterior insulation, indoor climbing, fast food (and traditional), bakery (bread), wine shops, personal services.

Passionate about projects and above all about project leaders.
