About Thomas

General Manager 👔 | Business Development 🚀 | Growth & Partnerships 🤝 | SME/Mid-Cap Expert 🏢 | M&A & International 🌍 | Trilingual FR/EN/ES 🌐

With over 20 years of experience in France and internationally (🇪🇺 Europe, 🇲🇽 Latin America, 🇺🇸 United States), I support the leaders of SMEs, mid-caps, and start-ups in developing their businesses – whether through internal structuring, organic growth, or M&A operations. I bring a global strategic vision, the ability to define priorities, and to mobilize teams to achieve sustainable results.

🔑 Key Expertise:
📊 Strategy & General Management: long-term vision, P&L management, strategic arbitration, governance, and organization.

🧩 Commercial Development & Structuring: go-to-market, team optimization, CRM & KPIs, sales efficiency.

🤝 Partnerships & Ecosystems: strategic partner management, synergy creation, multi-stakeholder growth.

🌍 Internationalization: opening and managing foreign subsidiaries, intercultural adaptation, multi-country coordination.

💼 M&A & Financing: fundraising (Search Fund), acquisition sourcing and integration, valuation, due diligence.

📣 Growth Marketing: automated B2B acquisition campaigns (tools like Lemlist, Apollo), nurturing & segmentation.

🗣 Working Languages: 🇫🇷 French | 🇬🇧 English | 🇪🇸 Spanish (🇵🇹/🇮🇹 intermediate level)

❓ Why engage me?
I combine the posture of an operational leader and a strategic sparring partner 🧠. My field experience in mid-caps/SMEs allows me to structure growth 🏗️, avoid dispersion 🧭, and secure long-term performance 📌.

🎯 My role: to guide, unite, and grow teams around what truly matters to increase your efficiency and impact 💥.
