Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Jean-Marc
I help companies re-establish the link between tech/product and business/sales teams by restoring meaning and establishing common language.
After 20 years as a tech and product manager in hyper-growth companies such as BlaBlaCar, BackMarket, Aircall, or Meetic, I now support leaders in rationalizing their delivery teams.
I intervene to:
- Help the executive committee understand what the tech and product teams do, gain visibility, challenge priorities, and have a roadmap consistent with the company's challenges
- Help tech and product teams embrace the business challenges of projects
- Help you recruit the best senior profiles (CTO, VP, Head of, manager, or leads) by participating in interviews and defining the onboarding process for long-term collaboration
- Structure and lead the tech team to grow while improving delivery velocity and quality
Some situations that match my offer:
- You wonder why, by hiring more, you don't deliver more
- You've lost sight of what tech and product teams deliver
- You need help resolving conflicts or retaining employees
- The CTO needs to evolve their posture
- Tech teams don't understand business objectives well
- Tech/product and business don't speak the same language
- You don't know how to grow your teams from 10 to 100 employees
- Your teams think you don't have the right tools or methods

Education
- Executive MBAEpitech2016Pour compléter mes compétences acquises, j’ai approfondi pendant 2 ans mes connaissances de l’entreprise : sur la partie "savoir faire" (compta, finance, marketing, communication, …) et surtout sur le "savoir être" (coach, stage GIGN, process com, ateliers en groupes, etc). Ces expériences très challengeantes m'ont permis d'apprendre très vite pour être plus à l'aise dans des situations complexes. Grâce à ce diplôme, j'ai pu notamment créer la Business Unit de 0 avec mon homologue pour la partie Business (Equipe d'une dizaine de personne aujourd'hui avec un nouveau produit qui propose une assurance automobile sous un nouvel angle).
