After an MBA in Paris (France), where I was born, I gathered more than 25 years of experience working for a strategic consulting company, then being an entrepreneur in SMEs, before taking an executive position in a large business.

Although I had a formal training in accounting, being outgoing, I specialized in sales, marketing and communication, but over the years, I was confronted by a variety of general management issues and developed a passion for restructuring businesses in order to maximize their growth. My analytical brain and my adaptability are strong assets to quickly isolate problems and find long-term solutions. I am hard working, forward thinking, direct and extremely loyal. I understand and respect the true meaning of confidentiality.

Based in South Africa since 1996 (my wife being from this country), I have an in-depth knowledge of the business environments (corporates as well as SMEs) and of the specific cultures in both Europe and Southern Africa where I have created solid networks. In addition I speak French (my mother tongue) and English fluently, which gives me a great advantage when negotiating in emerging African, French speaking countries that are increasing their commercial relationships with South Africa.

Since 2014, I am one of the three elected French Consular Counsellors in Southern Africa (South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Mozambique)

I now offer my skills and exclusive international networks to assist the business, institutional and political communities through BdL Consulting.
