About Richard

Outsourced General Manager with over 25 years of international experience (Sony, Philips, Cisco, Samsung), I support leaders who need to clarify their strategy, structure their organization, and secure their growth.

I address concrete issues: governance, operational performance, fundraising, business transfer, external growth, transformation projects. My role is to provide immediately operational general management, capable of transforming your strategic challenges into tangible results.

As an associate of the largest private investor club in France, I know the criteria that make a difference in convincing financiers and partners. I develop credible business plans, financial forecasts, and pitch decks designed to inspire confidence and provide access to funding or maximize value during a sale.

Typical missions:
  • Express strategic diagnosis and prioritized action plan
  • Operational management committee within 48 hours
  • Team organization and management
  • Financial dashboards and performance monitoring
  • Investor-ready business plan and financial forecasts
  • Preparation and structuring of fundraising
  • Support for business transfer or external growth
  • Management of specific and structuring projects

Added value: dual strategy and technology expertise, enriched by an active role with private investors. This unique combination allows me to understand your challenges from all angles (financial, human, operational, technical) and to prepare dossiers that inspire confidence and trigger decisions.

Examples of deliverables: strategic diagnosis, roadmap, operational management committee, business plan, financial forecast, investor pitch deck, data room for sale.

My approach is pragmatic and field-oriented: I work alongside you, within your decision-making bodies, and I deliver immediately actionable results.
