About Rémi

In 20 years, I have built tech & product teams from scratch to 50 people, supported fundraising rounds (Series A, B), managed technological pivots, and transformed cost centers into growth engines.

At Wizbii (France's leading youth employment platform), I was the first technical employee. Over 10 years as CTO then CPO, I structured the team from 3 to 50 developers, set up the Product Factory (Squads, Design System, B2B/B2C multi-products), and helped grow from €0 to €10M ARR. At Winter (greentech scale-up), I took over tech & product leadership: complete technological pivot, reduced customer acquisition cost by 7x, team grew from 2 to 15.
Today, I support founders and executives who want to structure their tech without making mistakes:
→ Bootstrap: I help companies structure their business model and create their MVP in 8 weeks
→ Training: I train on using AI to multiply your impact and that of your teams by 10-100
→ Fractional CTO / CPO: I take on the role part-time for startups that don't yet have the means for a full-time C-Level
→ CTO & CPO Coaching: I help your tech leaders transition from technical expert to business partner
→ Transition Management: I stabilize, audit, and recruit your next CTO/CPO
→ Scaling: I structure your teams to absorb post-funding growth

My conviction: technology is worthless if it doesn't serve growth. Every technical decision must have a measurable business impact.
