About Thibaut

Executive and consultant | Mergers & Acquisitions, renewable energy and
corporate transformation | Over 16 years of international experience | Over
5 GW of projects completed | Strategic and operational expertise

Seasoned executive with dual experience in corporate management and
technical execution. Over the past 16 years, I have held positions as Chairman,
External CEO, Consultant, and Engineer, driving growth, turnaround, and
transformation across various sectors, with a particular focus on renewable
energy (PV and BESS).

I have successfully led large-scale international projects, managed multi-million
euro business units, and built and mentored multicultural teams of over 100
professionals across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas.

Recognized for my ability to bridge strategy and operations, I bring expertise
in M&A, corporate finance, valuation, and business development, as well as
in-depth knowledge in the design, construction, commissioning, and lifecycle
optimization of energy assets. I regularly support entrepreneurs, SMEs, and
investors in restructurings, international development, and expansions,
having assisted over 300 business leaders to date.
