About Nathalie

Head of Product, Design and Strategy. I lead your product topics, from strategic framing to go-to-market within teams

Twenty years of experience, from Decathlon to scaling a B2B SaaS at Pennylane and advising outdoor startups in Haute Savoie (French Tech x OSV).

My approach: technology only creates value when it's connected to an identified, integrated, and measured use.

· I map the organization, systems, and customer usage, then co-create a strategy.
· I transform this analysis into clear recommendations, priorities, and a roadmap, with quantified business impact.
· I ensure alignment of teams and stakeholders at all levels around a common vision.
· I use AI to go faster and more accurately: in-depth analysis in a few hours, automated dashboards, forecasting, design sprints, ideation, vibe coding prototypes, improvement of research/insights and business workflows.

Some results: an organization design that grew from 22 to 50 people in Europe (Pennylane), growth from 100K to 800K monthly active users in one year (Decathlon), a virtual reality design chain that saved three months in go-to-market, AI-driven products and e-commerce experiences.

My fields: B2B SaaS, digital ecosystems, outdoor products, and experience-oriented organizations. Certified THIGA (Product Management and Product Marketing), MBA EM Lyon, speaker at ESSEC.
