About Margot

Looking to grow your business, structure a high-performing commercial strategy, or accelerate the launch of an offer, category, or partnership?

I help companies with their Business Development, Commercial Strategy, Category Management, and Strategic Negotiations, with over 15 years of experience in international, retail, e-commerce, and licensing environments.

I have worked with groups such as Warner Bros Discovery, Sarenza, Carrefour, and Cultura, where I managed growth strategies, product launches, commercial partnerships, and high-value negotiations.

My strengths: a vision that is both strategic and highly operational, a strong ability to adapt, and solid expertise in business development, category management, branding, and international cross-functional project coordination.

I intervene in particular on:

- Commercial Strategy & Business Development,
- Category Management & Offer Strategy,
- Supplier and Partnership Negotiations,
- New Offer / Brand Launches,
- Retail & E-commerce Support,
- Strategic Recommendations and Performance Optimization.

Accustomed to working in demanding and multicultural environments, I can be involved in strategic consulting missions as well as operational projects requiring speed, autonomy, and efficiency.
