Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After 10 years in banking and finance, I decided in 2023 to start a consulting business in corporate finance and funding to leverage my skills for entrepreneurs.

I am passionate about sharing the knowledge gained through my professional and personal experiences to help them improve their financial resource management, grow with confidence, and more easily access funding for their growth.

I address the financial and funding issues of companies (Start-ups/VSEs/SMEs). Each mission is unique and tailor-made to meet the needs of the company and its leaders.
