Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Expert in economic modeling and strategic planning, I recently created the consulting firm Scenfi in Nantes with the aim of equipping SMEs, mid-sized companies, and large groups with accessible and customized analysis tools to strengthen and facilitate exercises related to strategic and operational management cycles:

• Developing and creating scenarios for medium/long-term strategic plans

• Strategic arbitration around investment choices

• Analyzing and managing the profitability of activities

• Improving industrial performance

Over the past 10 years, I have supervised the Financial & Strategic Planning activity of a strategy consulting firm in Paris and supported several global industrial leaders in improving their strategic planning, investment prioritization, due diligence, and industrial excellence exercises.

For example, I worked with finance, strategy, and performance departments to redesign their business plan models to help them:

• Structure the dialogue between headquarters and executive management to define achievable value creation targets

• Strengthen the credibility and consistency of plans between departments through techno-economic modeling that tests the commercial plan against industrial and financial constraints, and clarifies the link between value creation levers and future cash flows

• Facilitate strategic arbitration and the construction of alternative scenarios (what-if) around development/financing options or possible changes in the economic and competitive environment

Today, Scenfi offers companies exclusive and pragmatic solutions to structure and facilitate the analysis, management, and projection of their economic performance.
