Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Entrepreneur for 10 years.

Founder and coach of startups, I have experience in the Automotive, Fintech and Automotive Aftermarket sectors.

- I created the startup Depopass, sold to Groupe BPCE / Natixis in 2016, where I remained CEO of the subsidiary for 3 years.

- I am President of the France Autotech startup association, which I co-founded in 2017. This gives me an overview of the tech and digital transformation occurring in this sector.

- I also collaborated with Groupe Saint-Gobain for the launch of a digital offering in the automotive aftermarket, particularly in automotive glazing.

I enjoy working on both strategic and operational topics.

I support projects and teams from various angles:

- Project management

- Business development

- Team management

- Fundraising, project creation and development

- Strategic analysis (Go/NoGo decisions, market research, business models, Bizdev)

DEPOPASS
Founder & CEO (Acquired by BPCE Group then Natixis Payments in 2016)
BANKING AND INSURANCE
January 2014 - September 2019 (5 years and 8 months)
Paris, France
Created from scratch in 2014, DEPOPASS is a startup in Fintech (Digital Payment) developed and sold in May 2016 to Groupe BPCE and then Natixis Payments - with LaCentrale.fr / CarBoat Media (Axel Springer Group) as a partner and shareholder. DEPOPASS modernized, simplified, and secured payments for used vehicles (cars / motorcycles / boats). It aimed to replace the bank check. DEPOPASS offered 3 essential innovations:
- The guarantee of being paid, as we collected funds (by bank transfer or credit card) in an escrow account before the sale took place.
- Verification of the buyer's and seller's identity to ensure traceability of ownership.
- Finally, support, as we placed great importance on assisting individuals during the stressful process of buying or selling their used vehicle.
Unlike a bank check, DEPOPASS also allowed:
- Adjusting the vehicle price until the last moment via our mobile application.
- Completing the sale 7 days a week.
- Cancelling without fees and recovering funds quickly.
Finally, we provided clients with:
- The transfer certificate, pre-filled with all vehicle details.
- The certificate of non-encumbrance.
- The transfer declaration to the ANTS.
In May 2019, Groupe BPCE decided to discontinue this solution.
