About Jess

I act as a transition CFO in contexts where the company must face strong challenges: transformation, external growth, or a tense situation.

My role is not solely financial.
It is to quickly bring:
clarity
structure
decision-making capacity

I have had the opportunity to work in complex environments:
companies in difficulty (judicial recovery, continuation plan)

structuring of groups through external growth
transformation of companies requiring profound changes

My strength is to act quickly:
understand the business beyond the numbers
identify what is really blocking progress
unite the teams
implement concrete decisions
I don't just analyze a situation.
I create the conditions to transform it.
