About Manon

Hello!

With 11 years of experience in managing B2B ecosystems, I combine the strategic vision of a Product Marketing Manager with the drive of a Business Developer.
I support brands, SMEs, and startups in propelling the growth of their offerings: from analyzing field needs (Product Discovery) to negotiating partnerships in complex sales cycles.
As an international athlete in canine sports (canicross) and passionate about the outdoor world (trail running), I apply my endurance and intimate knowledge of the terrain to business performance. My rigorous method adapts to any demanding sector requiring alignment of technology, market, and revenue.

- MY 3 PILLARS OF INTERVENTION:

1. Product Marketing & Go-To-Market (Strategy)
° Product Discovery: Analysis of field usage (pain points) and co-design of B2B2C solutions.
° Launch: Deployment of Go-To-Market strategies in diversified ecosystems (e-commerce, retail, B2B).
° Offer Management: Profitability steering and repositioning of complex technical catalogs (> 2000 references, €8M revenue).

2. Business Development & Sales (Acquisition)
° Hunting & Prospecting: Acquisition of decision-makers (C-level) and management of complex, high-stakes projects (>€100k).
° Partnerships & Negotiation: Structuring margins, establishing strategic partnerships, and negotiating long cycles.
° Account Management: Strategic support, management, and retention of client portfolios.

3. Lead Management & Sales Enablement (Conversion)
° CRM & Data: Steering acquisition funnels, structuring databases (HubSpot), and rigorous ROI analytics.
° Sales Support: Creation of playbooks, pitches, and materials (Sales Enablement) to support and train sales teams.
