About Nicolas

After starting my career in Venture Capital, I spent the last 8 years building and scaling sales organizations in startup and scale-up environments.

Today, I work as a Fractional Head of Sales to structure, manage, and accelerate growth: go-to-market strategy, team building, implementation of processes and management tools, and optimization of sales performance.

I have supported phases of strong growth, managing teams of up to 50+ sales representatives.

My approach combines operational rigor (top performer at PayFit) and strategic vision (hyper-growth sales management), allowing me to intervene quickly, align teams, and generate concrete results from the first few weeks.
