Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Mikaël
Do you have a prototype, a demonstrator, an industrial equipment, or a project to structure, but the path to an industrializable version remains unclear: technical risks, suppliers, engineering departments, regulations, make-or-buy decisions, pre-series production, pilot units, costs, or planning.
I act as a senior consultant in industrialization and industrial projects to clarify the situation, structure critical milestones, and make decisions more manageable.
I bring 20 years of experience in complex industrial environments: metallurgy, agri-food, processes, industrial equipment, new construction, maintenance, CAPEX, commissioning, and international projects.
What I can concretely bring you:
- Scoping an industrialization pathway;
- Risk/milestone/partner diagnosis;
- Structuring engineering departments, suppliers, regulatory experts;
- Assistance with make-or-buy arbitration;
- Securing a critical milestone: pre-series production, pilot unit, commissioning, supplier consultation;
- Support for executives or project teams on structuring industrial decisions.
My services are tailored for industrial startups, deeptech companies, innovative SMEs, or industrial firms with a technical project that needs to be clearer, more realistic, and executable.
I am not an engineering firm and I do not permanently replace a project team. My value lies in clarifying, structuring, securing the initial milestones, and gradually transferring knowledge to the right contacts.
Hybrid missions are preferred, with site visits during critical milestones: scoping, risk review, supplier visits, project meetings, commissioning, or industrial arbitration.
