About Nicolas

Are you leading an SME with an annual revenue between €5M and €30M?
Your financials are sound, your team is performing, and the market is stable.
Yet, growth seems to have stalled.

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 Coaching
6 sessions over 3 months to unblock the 3 strategic decisions you've been postponing for 18 months.

→ Flash Profit Center / Business Unit Audit
A 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).

→ Operational Mentoring for Solo Founders
Monthly 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.

📞 How to start:
Initial 30-minute discovery call via video, free and no-obligation.

I'll give you my honest assessment of whether I can help, or if you need a different kind of support.
