About
I build strategies and grow businesses with a simple belief: sustainable performance comes from truly understanding problems and executing solutions well. I’m a calm and methodical strategist, used to navigating complex environments with clarity and high standards. My approach is straightforward: understand, decide, act. My background sits at the intersection of technology and business. It’s given me a strong ability to diagnose challenges accurately and deliver solutions that last. Over time, I’ve applied that same mindset to marketing and business development, with a consistent focus: turning technology into real, tangible value. After completing a certification in Marketing & Commercial Strategy at IDRAC Lyon, I naturally moved toward developing technology-driven businesses, often in demanding and international contexts. Over the past few years, I have: – founded and grown two companies, including one that raised €150K in the VOD space, – helped structure and scale a professional training business now built for the long term, – supported the growth of tech companies (medical, engineering, SaaS), working with partners across Europe and aligning strategy, offering, and market needs. My approach is built on a few key principles: – challenge intuition with data, – simplify complexity, – build clear, actionable and measurable strategies. Clarity matters to me. An idea only creates value if it’s understood, shared and executed properly. Today, my focus is simple: making advanced technologies more useful, accessible and impactful. Because in the end, execution is what really makes the difference.My MBTI Profile : ENTJ-A
