I build and scale high-performance businesses in telecom, technology, and global operations.

With 20+ years leading growth across Canada, the U.S., LATAM, Europe, Africa and Asia, I specialize in transforming complex environments into predictable, scalable, revenue-driving engines.

Today, as President of Run-DLJ, I’m focused on making our company the #1 national provider of data and telecom hardware—IP phones, switches, routers, WiFi access points and accessories—trusted by hospitals, schools, universities, and enterprises across Canada.

Previously:
- Grew Mission’s network of vetted senior engineers from 350 to 5,000+ (+1300%)
- Signed 30+ global partnerships across 6 continents
- Built scalable sourcing, vetting and matching systems from scratch
- Drove international expansion across 25+ countries at Egencia (Expedia Group)
- Led teams of 40+ to 80+ employees across global operations

What I do best:
✔ Scale businesses from inception to hundreds of millions
✔ Build processes that bring clarity, predictability and efficiency
✔ Negotiate strategic partnerships worldwide
✔ Lead world-class, multicultural teams
✔ Deliver growth even in resource-constrained environments

If you’re looking to discuss telecom hardware needs, distribution partnerships, or scaling global operations — let’s connect.

AI/ML Sales Prospecting: Maximize conversion, on Autopilot | Ex-BCG | Keynote Speaker | AI Sales Corporate Trainer

I am a Doctor of Pharmacy, Serial Entrepreneur, keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and Ex-Strategy Consultant.
But you could say my story is a bit more colorful.

At 11, I became a regional Chess champion

At 17, I was ranked #1France, #9Worldwide on a competitive video game, and selected to represent France in the World Cyber Games

At 20, I played Poker professionally and by 23 had been sponsored to play in the biggest tournaments across the globe

At 24, I invested my poker gains and launched an award-winning startup

That ultimately failed. Miserably.

I realized you actually need extensive business skills and acumen to launch a startup (shocker I know). 

The logical next move was to acquire those skills and build credibility.

Hence, for the bigger part of my career, I worked at top consulting firms (SKP, BCG) and in corporate Strategy (Crypto.com)

There is a common denominator in everything I undertake: consistent stellar performance, in competitive high-stakes environments.

I eventually gathered the courage to be an entrepreneur again, and founded OneDrip, a Health Tech startup.

Then the Generative AI revolution started.

After successfully leveraging AI to supercharge sales at OneDrip, I realized many others could benefit from it too. 

This is why I founded AI Piping to supercharge B2B sales. We leverage a blend of AI and proprietary ML algorithms to know exactly when and what to send each prospect in order to maximize sales conversion.
