Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Valentine
I support the structuring of high-growth or repositioning companies (external consultant or integrated COO/Chief of Staff).
I work with leaders who need:
1. clarity in decision-making when everything is a priority;
2. operational quality and efficiency when the company has often grown faster than its processes;
3. organizational and HR alignment.
With 10 years of experience in consulting (BCG, Schoolab) and as an entrepreneur, I offer tailor-made and pragmatic support, both strategic and process/delivery-oriented.
My key skills:
- Global structuring: performance management, HR & rituals organization, economic model strengthening, governance evolution, process review and data stack improvement, diversification
- Assisting leaders in clarifying their vision and translating it into coherent strategic and operational plans
- Launching and accelerating complex and cross-functional projects
- Targeted support in fundraising, business plan development, intermediate manager coaching, brand positioning
I particularly support startups, scale-ups, SMEs, or NGOs (10-500 employees) in the Tech, Lifestyle, Culture, and Impact sectors.
