After 12+ years building and scaling Akeneo, I now partner long term with a small number of founders.
No consultant. No fractional executive.
Hands-on strategic advisor.
No generic frameworks. No playbooks. No slide decks.
Sharp thinking and context-specific execution.
No fixed cadence. No ceremony. No process for the sake of process.
I build with you.
We adapt to how you operate.
I work primarily with the CEO and the leadership team when it matters.
Long term by design. Independent by choice. Direct when needed.
Better decisions. Faster execution. Real progress.
