Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Over 30 years of experience. 15 years of General Management internationally. 10 mergers and acquisitions managed. From large groups to startups.

For 15 years, I have managed companies. Not advised from a Parisian office – managed. On the ground. With teams, budgets, crises, and successes.

15 years of general management internationally. 6 countries. 2400 people under my responsibility. 10 M&A operations managed end-to-end. +42% growth generated. A P&L of €60M.

Today, I put this experience at your service.

I support startups and SMEs that want to scale – but not just any how. Not growth that exhausts. Not expansion that collapses at the first obstacle. Growth that structures before running, that creates local value, that endures over time.

Specifically, I support you in two areas:

→ Structuring & Performance: Do you want to raise funds, integrate an acquisition, professionalize your governance? I have managed these transformations from the inside. I know the pitfalls, the shortcuts that aren't, and the foundations that hold.

→ International Development: Are you targeting international markets, emerging markets, expansion outside of France? I have lived there, recruited there, negotiated with ministers and local partners. I won't give you a market study – I will give you the keys to succeed on the ground.

My promise is simple:

I am not a consultant who observes. I am a manager who commits alongside you. A single, senior, available point of contact. No junior team, no endless slides, no surprise invoices.

Results. Concrete actions. On the ground.
