About Loïc

Independent consultant, digital jack-of-all-trades, and right-hand man to executives, I have been supporting major international industrial groups for over 10 years – particularly in the aeronautics and energy sectors – on their strategic and operational challenges.

I work in direct support of Vice-Presidents and members of management committees, on missions related to governance, budget management, operational performance, managerial communication, and medium/long-term strategy.

Trained in both the arts (dancer at the National Conservatory of Music and Dance of Paris and soloist with the Jeune Ballet de France) and sciences (graduate engineer from ENSIACET), I founded SLIIDE to combine strategy, creativity, and efficiency.
This dual background allows me to design pragmatic, innovative, and high-impact solutions – serving executives and their teams.
