Cofondateur - Club Bootstrap | Le club qui défend le succès des startups / PME au delà de leur valorisation financière | On sélectionne 50+ nouveaux membres d'ici fin 2024 🦫 | J'analyse la startup nation sans bullshit

Pendant 10 ans, j’ai accompagné des CEO ambitieux à construire, vendre, recruter, s'entourer, diriger. Et j’ai vu la même chose partout : la solitude du dirigeant, la peur de l’échec, les conflits d’associés, la perte de sens après la réussite.

Des sujets tabous — alors qu’ils nous concernent tous.

Du coup aujourd’hui, j’ai plusieurs terrains de jeu :

🎙️ À Poil et Sans Filet, le podcast des entrepreneurs sur des sujets brûlants : argent, réussite, épuisement, liberté, solitude, sens, situation politique… 
+1M de vues cumulées
+20k auditeurs mensuels
- des invités de Jean 2LR à Matthieu Stefani en passant par des inconnus incroyables. 

Ici, pas de bullshit ou de posture — juste la vérité nue du métier de dirigeant - et ce que ça dit de notre société.

👊 Bientôt : un mouvement pour défendre les intérêts des dirigeants de TPE-PME. Parce que pendant que les grands groupes font du lobbying, les entrepreneurs de terrain, eux, bossent. 

❤️ Et entre les deux, j’aide les dirigeants à grandir sans se perdre :

- Coach de CEO (bootstrap, leadership, clarté mentale) : je prends 10 clients par an. 
- Je crée des expériences collectives mémorables pour dirigeant(e)s : séminaires, retraites, conférences.

Quelques vanity metrics :
+150 dirigeants accompagnés via le Club Bootstrap (2 à 50M€ de CA)
+1M de vues/an sur YouTube 
+3M de vues/an sur Linkedin
+10 ans à challenger des CEO et leurs équipes-

Et à part ça ?J'ai une femme incroyable, je suis papa de deux enfants, passionné de tennis, de philo et de conversations vraies. 

Je crois que le leadership commence là où tombent les masques.

❤️ sur toi

Doing business might just be an excuse for me to build great products and services with talented and driven people !  

I started my career in M&A with Lazard Frères, joining the Telecom, Media and Tech Group, for 4 incredibly rich years. I then felt the need to leave my comfort zone and reshuffle the cards.

Through friends I realized how difficult it was for parents to find a convenient and healthy way to feed their babies. As I love kids, food and technology, after studying the market, I decided to produce high-quality organic babyfood, delivered to the door through a monthly subscription. Little Gustave was the 1st babyfood subscription service in Europe.

Starting from scratch, I built the team, overcame a strict regulatory framework, led the search for suppliers and manufacturers, monitored testing and R&D, designed the brand, the website, our social media, marketing, and sales strategies. I solely conducted our 3 rounds of funding, for a total of €1.3m, with angel investors.

The brand later expanded to physical retail channels, selling at Franprix, Monoprix and Carrefour stores, then creating the premium babyfood category in France.

Ultimately, I have a true passion for consumer brands and innovation. I am always eager to support teams and leaders that are building platforms where employees can develop themselves and craft outstanding products and services, creating great customers' value and satisfaction.
