Back to original languageAbout Jean-Marie
General Manager with over 25 years of experience in business transformation, structuring, and growth. My career has led me to lead companies in various sectors, including software, technology, and services.
What motivates me is taking on complex challenges by providing tailor-made strategic solutions. Whether through profound transformations or growth situations, my goal is always to create value while mobilizing teams around common projects. Recently, as interim general manager at Formes & Sculptures, I restructured governance, redesigned the sales organization, and launched initiatives to conquer the Asia-Pacific market.
With solid experience in managing companies in an LBO context, I have led international structures, notably at Coptis and Octave, where I was able to transform organizations, optimize processes, and unite high-performing teams around a clear vision.
In parallel, my passion for leadership and collaborative management has led me to support talents in their human and professional development. My approach is simple: anticipate, structure, and above all, engage.
