Thomas Odabachian

Specialist in multi-site environments and transformation or turnaround phases, I intervene on a part-time basis or on a commando mission to stabilize, manage, and transfer.

My financial expertise is the foundation that allows me to take over General Management when the situation requires it.

🎯 WHAT I DO:

1️⃣ INTERIM CFO (My core business)

📈 Provide visibility: reliable reporting, budget, rolling forecast, industrial KPIs.

💸 Secure cash & working capital: disbursement prioritization, cash culture, DSO/DPO.

👥 Structure the Finance function: organization, recruitment, skill development.

🛠️ Digitize: ERP (Sage X3, SAP), BI & automation (Excel/Power BI).

2️⃣ INTERIM CEO (Ensure continuity)

Because a leader's life isn't linear, I take the operational reins to ensure the company's sustainability in two scenarios:

🚑 The Unforeseen (Emergency): Health problem, accident, or sudden death. I secure operations, reassure teams and banks, and provide reporting to the family or shareholders.

🌍 The Life Project (Choice): Do you want to go on a round-the-world trip, focus on another project, or take a step back? I provide operational interim management so you can leave with peace of mind.

📌 MILESTONES: 15+ years of experience | Simultaneous management of 5 sites | Multi-company & Multi-establishment | Bilingual FR/EN.

📍 AREA OF OPERATION: Based in Saintes, I operate throughout Charente-Maritime (17) and Charente (16) – On-site & hybrid.

🧢 MY INVESTOR HAT: Beyond consulting, I am passionate about value creation. I invest personally in Private Equity (support for unlisted SMEs), Real Estate, and Financial Markets. This investor mindset enriches my role as CFO and CEO: I analyze my clients' situations with the same rigor as if it were my own money.
