About Kate

Former Sales Director and member of two Executive Committees (company and group), I now work with executives, founders, and management teams on high-stakes issues: corporate strategy, commercial strategy, organizational structuring, and change management.

I support organizations at key moments in their development: clarifying priorities, structuring growth, strategic repositioning, and securing decisions.

My approach is both strategic and operational: I don't just produce recommendations, I make them actionable, realistic, and adapted to the field. My background as a Sales Director allows me to speak the language of both executives and teams.

Certified professional coach, specializing in stress management, emotions, and burnout prevention, I integrate these human dimensions into strategic thinking to secure decisions, facilitate buy-in, and support performance. I intervene particularly on issues of leadership, managerial posture, and team dynamics, in contexts of transformation, growth, or organizational tension.

Frequent types of assignments:
– Scoping and structuring corporate strategy
– Defining or redesigning commercial strategy
– Coaching for General Management or Sales Management
– Interim management and team structuring
– Change management and reorganization

I work both remotely and in person, on ad-hoc or medium-term assignments, with a constant objective: to clarify, decide, and drive concrete progress.
