About Maxime

I support executives, funds, and finance teams in situations of tension or transformation, where cash management, prioritization of performance levers, and rapid execution are critical.

My expertise lies at the intersection of restructuring, cash management, and value creation: I strengthen teams on high-impact operational missions, providing direct support to the CFO, management, or a financial shareholder.

I intervene in particular on:
- Liquidity monitoring and management (13-week cash flow, treasury, stress tests)
- Working capital & operational performance (analyses, quick wins, action plans)
- Finance / transformation PMO in turnaround, carve-out, or constrained growth contexts
- Financial modeling, budgets, business plans, and investor / bank reporting

My approach is pragmatic and execution-oriented: rapid understanding of issues, structuring of analyses, production of directly actionable deliverables.

I have worked in various contexts (SMEs, groups, investment funds, public sector), in France and internationally, often in constrained environments where decisions must be made quickly.
