About Romain

After 11 years managing the operations of an industrial SME (60 employees, €12 million in revenue), I now support entrepreneurs, startups, and scale-ups who want to regain 15-20 hours per week. I become your remote right-hand man and take charge of:

. Tender responses: tender analysis, technical proposal writing, document compilation, compliance checks
• Management & coordination: internal/freelance/service provider team management, scheduling, priorities, reporting
• Client/key account relations: follow-up, reminders, loyalty building, meeting preparation
• Implementation and optimization of processes (Notion, ClickUp, Asana)
• Sales administration: invoicing, cash flow, supplier management
• Project management: overall monitoring, existing process optimization, supplier watch

You retain strategic vision and high-level client relations; I handle the rest with the rigor of a former executive.
