Managing Partner - the Wave Momentum

Biographie

The Compass and the Guide - Much more than an experienced guide helping others on a mountain climbing expedition, I am also an observer, finding ways to adapt and adjust. Ultimately, I am someone who reveals opportunities and talents. I have supported management teams in defining and activating efficient and scalable processes impacting their go-to-market approach for many years. I co-founded thewavemomentum to provide hands-on, actionable, and tactical recommendations to clients. Together, we create new energy to put back in motion or accelerate their revenue growth. I also co-founded Almarelo, a marketplace portal connecting experienced senior professionals with small businesses to provide business support and advice. Beyond favoring a win-win business relationship, Almarelo had the social purpose of coaching seniors on their freelance advisory journey. I sit on the Delville Management board, a firm that specializes in transition management, helping organizations manage emergencies, improve performance, and define turnarounds and recovery plans. Overall, I have +25 years of experience as a business developer engaging with sophisticated clients in the industrial, technology, and financial sectors in Europe and North America. I have acquired robust expertise in developing complex solutions, a mix of technology, advisory services, managed services, and professional services. I have a successful track record in establishing, growing, managing technology / consulting ventures, and turning them into long-term profitable businesses. I hold a master?s degree in Computer Science from University Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne in France. I was appointed a French Foreign Trade Council Advisor (CNCCEF)in March 2011 and an Ambassador of the French American Chamber of Commerce (FACC-NY) since September 2019. On a more personal side, I am proud to sit on the board of the American Friends of le Chambon sur Lignon ? a place of remembrance, history, and education.
