Sophie Gautier

I support retailers and distribution players in evolving their organizations and distribution models, whether they operate store networks, e-commerce platforms, or omnichannel models.

My expertise has been built within retail chains and consulting environments, with experience in network development, multi-site retail activity management, and the evolution of commercial systems facing major industry transformations.

I work alongside management to clarify development directions, structure multi-project roadmaps, and manage transformation programs involving several company functions.

My assignments may include, for example:

– defining a strategy for the development or evolution of a distribution model (network expansion, evolution of the role of stores, integration with e-commerce)

– designing and managing a transformation roadmap aimed at evolving a distribution model towards more integrated store and digital systems

– structuring and professionalizing the organization of a fast-growing distribution network (clarifying roles, implementing management methods, supporting managers)

– improving the profitability of a store network by revisiting the organization, operating costs, and retail P&L performance levers

– supporting the operational development of a distribution network (opening new points of sale, structuring teams, and evolving commercial practices)

Depending on the needs, my interventions can take the form of transition management, program management, or structuring project coordination.
