- CAP CROISSANCEFounder - CoachCONSULTING AND AUDITSApril 2026 - Today (2 months)I help leaders who have successfully scaled their business to a certain level, but are now facing the next hurdle.🎯 Who I work with:- Founders and leaders of SMEs (€5M - €30M in revenue)- Leadership teams looking to restructure their execution- Successors / interim managers taking over a new entity🛠 What I offer:→ Individual Executive Coaching6 sessions over 3 months to unblock the 3 strategic decisions you've been postponing for 18 months.Format: 90 min video call every 2 weeks + ongoing messaging between sessions.Package: €4,500 (excluding VAT).→ Flash Profit Center / Business Unit AuditA 5-10 day diagnosis of an underperforming site or business unit.Deliverable: 15-20 page report + prioritized action plan.Daily rate: €1,100 (excluding VAT).→ Transformation SupportStructuring reorganizations, scaling up, succession planning, or onboarding into a new role.Custom format (1-6 month missions, 1-3 days/week presence).Daily rate: €1,100 (excluding VAT).→ Operational Mentoring for Solo FoundersMonthly 90-minute sessions to avoid common pitfalls when reaching critical growth stages (e.g., second hire, sales structuring, delegation, governance).Annual package: €6,000 (excluding VAT).📈 My Approach:After 15 years leading profit centers (up to €20M revenue, teams up to 130 FTEs) at Mewa Textil-Management, Axxis Intérim, Paprec Group, and Quaron, I've observed one key thing:80% of an SME's growth ceilings are not strategic. They are mental.These are often 3 decisions postponed for 18 months:- An employee you hesitate to replace.- A project that seems daunting but is strategically crucial.- A limiting belief like 'I must do everything myself,' which stifles the leadership team.My role is to transform what you already know into concrete decisions. In weeks, not years.
