What I believe

Three convictions that shaped everything.

01
Corporates are your best distribution channel.
AXA, L'Oréal, BNP Paribas, Thales — I've sat on both sides of the table. The best B2B scale-ups I've seen didn't grow despite corporates — they grew because of them. I know how to open those doors, and more importantly, how to close deals through them.
02
Fundraising is a strategic act, not a financial one.
I've sat in the data room at Digital Virgo preparing for IPO. I've closed Series A and B rounds with founders across three continents. Knowing when to raise, who to raise from, and how to structure the story — that's what separates scale-ups from stalled projects.
03
People are the actual engine.
I've built and merged teams across 20+ countries. In hypergrowth, post-acquisition integration, or AI transformation — the operator who shows up every day, embodies the culture, and holds the team together is the difference between scale and chaos.
