About Me

Entrepreneur, Business & Tech Leader, Software & Biotech Engineer.

In a Nutshell

I am a seasoned business advisor, entrepreneur, and engineer, and I enjoy solving complex problems creatively and working with organisations that help people concretely.

I’ve lived on three continents and continuously developed and applied skills in those areas, helping 20+ high-growth companies worldwide drive transformations, achieve organisational goals and move many teams forward. I’ve also created and led multiple tech and business events and communities.

Areas of Expertise

Business Strategy

I developed and executed the business strategy for my businesses, including my tech consulting company Crafties and my environmental literacy platform, Time for a Change. I also advised other startups and SMEs in this area, enabling their success and growth.

Change Management

I successfully managed the strategic, organisational and tech changes and transitions related to the scale-up of startups, letting them harness the power of technology to seize new business opportunities.

Leadership

I led initiatives and teams for the French national electricity project Linky (~100 people), enabled continuous delivery of value in a distributed-team context for a tech company, coordinated a school renovation project in Honduras (30+ people), among others.

Operational Excellence

As a consultant, I often adopted a systemic approach to analyse the organisation’s state through different perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of its needs. I was then able to manage the constraints of the systems at stake and enhance organisational processes.

Entrepreneurship

I developed a free platform to help Honduran entrepreneurs manage their invoices. I also created a successful tech consulting company (Crafties) in Lyon, France. Recently, I started Time for a Change, an environmental literacy platform that leverages the power of collective knowledge to address our current environmental crisis.

Marketing

I designed a fit-for-purpose research methodology to define the target segment and product characteristics that would increase customer engagement for a Canadian startup. I also advised a few other startups in this area and conducted market research for my ventures.

I want to enable a positive impact through my work and other endeavours.

And I love combining my passions and knowledge in business, tech and science to achieve this purpose.

At work, I foster open and respectful communication as well as active and empathetic listening.

I also strive to develop a holistic view of the organisation by considering all its components and stakeholders, allowing me to make informed decisions.

I always try to share what I learn along the way. This sharing takes many forms, from informal conversations to workshops, talks, videos, and blog articles.
