About Nicolas

I support companies (SMEs and ETIs) in structuring and accelerating their sales performance, drawing on 15 years of experience in B2B sales management, particularly in SaaS.

My interventions cover several needs:

  • Interim Management — I take over from a sales director during a transition period (departure, ongoing recruitment, restructuring) to ensure continuity and maintain team and pipeline momentum.
  • Commercial or Product Launch — I support market entry: go-to-market, offering structuring, sales process construction, targeting, and initial commercial traction.
  • Audit & Process Optimization — I analyze your existing sales processes to identify performance levers, streamline the sales cycle, and improve conversion rates.
  • AI & Digital Tools Integration — I help you integrate artificial intelligence and digital tools into your sales approach (prospecting, CRM, automation, decision support) to increase efficiency.
  • Coaching & Support — I coach current sales directors and executives in developing their skills, decision-making, and team management.
My approach is practical, results-oriented, and metric-driven. I adapt to your context to deliver measurable impact, whether for a few days of consulting or a multi-month mission.
