The real question

You know where you want to go. The hard part is deciding and executing.

Day-to-day eats the strategy

Urgent matters take over, the real trade-offs get postponed, and the direction stays blurry for your teams.

Hard to step back alone

It's tough to gain perspective on your own, without a senior outside view that tells you things straight.

The plan sits in a drawer

A nice document, but neither prioritized, quantified nor owned by the leadership team. So it's never really executed.

What I bring

Three levers, one execution

Diagnosis

A no-nonsense diagnosis

Flash audit (2 to 3 days) or in-depth (5 to 8 days): your priority issues, your areas of risk and opportunity, said without jargon.

Strategy

An actionable 3 to 5 year plan

A prioritized, quantified and concrete plan. Scenarios, structuring choices and a roadmap your teams can genuinely follow.

Execution

An aligned leadership team, seminars that unlock progress

Transformation steering and executive seminars (available at Château Saint Louis) to bring the team on board and move to action.

A prioritized plan

We tackle what pays off fast first

Each initiative is plotted by its impact and its feasibility. We trigger the quick wins right away, then sequence the deeper projects.

Clear trade-offs, not a list of 50 actions
Effort focused where it truly counts

External growth

Thinking of acquiring a company?

Before you sign, I assess the target (market, customers, operations, business plan) and give you a go or no-go in one week. A senior eye so you don't pick the wrong target.

Evaluate an acquisition

Full spend audit

EBITDA from the first 100 days

Map

All spend, by category and by supplier, in three weeks. You finally see where the money goes.

Renegotiate and reduce

Tenders on benefits, fleet, telecoms, energy, insurance and software. And consume less, not just pay less.

Lock in

Savings written into the budget, tracked monthly with management. They do not leak back.

Starting point: the 5-day flash audit, €10,000 excl. VAT. 30-min call
