Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Jean Philippe
I am a bilingual professional with proven international experience in finance and strategy. I consult and work as a business leader. I deliver solid financial results for medium-sized companies and startups as a CFO. I have successfully founded and led a startup that experienced exponential growth. I also led the strategic planning team of a medium-sized financial institution. Finally, I advised an international bank and its clients on significant oil project financing. Through projects and sectors, I have acquired great versatility and unparalleled agility. My multidisciplinary and multisectoral profile thus allows me to integrate complex projects with strategic, financial, and operational components.
As a seasoned communicator, I am comfortable behind a camera or in front of audiences, sometimes very large, expressing myself in French or English. Furthermore, my professional experiences have led me to work in international environments across Europe, Africa, and Asia. I would now like to work on ambitious, complex projects that have an impact.
