About Maxence

I help SaaS B2B startups and scale-ups turn their product into a growth engine — activation, retention, revenue.

In 7 years of product management, I helped take Kolecto from 0 to 10,000 active users, structured Voyage Privé's hotel connectivity to improve conversion and reduce booking errors, and supported Pop Factory's SaaS migration.

---

What I bring concretely:

Activation & Time to Value
Product onboarding, aha moment, guided journeys, in-app triggers, I reduce the time between signup and perceived value.

Retention & Engagement
Usage pattern analysis, churn signal identification, re-engagement initiatives, core feature stickiness.

Revenue & Conversion
Freemium → paid optimization, upsell, MRR expansion, pricing A/B tests, subscription funnel.

Methods & Tools
AARRR · OKR · Product Discovery · Amplitude · Dovetail · Cycle · growth roadmap · A/B tests

I work with a clear business vision: every deliverable must have a measurable impact. I quickly integrate into a team, challenge assumptions with data, and deliver quick wins while structuring the long term.

It was a pleasure working with Maxence. He was of great support in implementing a new SaaS platform.
