About Nicolas

With 25 years of experience, including 15+ years as a Senior Product Lead, Coach, and Mentor, entrepreneur/intrapreneur, I have significantly contributed to the success of various companies.

I have also evolved as an open-source promoter, speaker, event organizer, and in the associative and sports worlds...

My motivation is to strengthen your strategic and operational management of your B2B tech product portfolios, by leveraging the transdisciplinary strengths of tech, design, sales, and marketing.

Some examples of achievements:

- Libon: scaling agility across diverse vertical and transversal teams, Erlang/XMPP backend messaging, web frontend, multidisciplinary feature team for messaging (web iOS, Android, backend, UX, and UI)

- Erlang Solutions: strategic pivot (from a simple open-source server to a complete open platform) and adoption of a strong product and agile culture, with direct integration of sales and marketing, leading to a doubling of consulting revenue.

- Nayego: team building, UX innovation recognized by users and prospects, focusing on the use of asynchronous cross-conversations, through intelligent reuse of existing patterns and intuitive visual feedback.

- Arawa: CEO's right-hand man at Arawa, revamping and structuring the sales funnel through data, implementing a complete content strategy, and reviewing project methodology, growing from 4 to 10 employees, and contributing to a tripling of revenue.

- Scaleway: coaching/mentoring/pairing, driving innovation and ambition as Lead PM (Bare Metal, Instances, AI), and refreshing the Block Storage offering as IC PM.

- Publicis Sapient: Product transformations (finance, automotive, communication, logistics, Gen AI training sectors) as Associate Director PM.

- Flex.AI: reducing onboarding friction and churn.

These accomplishments reflect my commitment to strengthening your programs and achieving your strategic objectives.
