About Maïlys

With over 9 years of experience in business development, marketing strategy, and investment readiness, I specialize in helping companies refine their market positioning, optimize their commercial approach, and prepare for fundraising opportunities.

My expertise spans software, consulting, healthcare, mobility service, energy and distribution, where I have successfully led high-impact projects that drive business growth and investor engagement. I work closely with startups and established companies to provide structured support in investment preparation, market positioning, and strategic business development.

I assist in building the foundation for fundraising efforts, including preparing investment briefs, refining value propositions, and offering guidance on investor engagement. My focus is on developing strong commercial and marketing strategies that enhance visibility, credibility, and long-term success.

I am passionate about creating actionable strategies that deliver measurable results, whether in market entry, investor outreach, or commercial expansion.
