01Who for

Three kinds of decision makers. One need: decide fast, then deliver.

PME · ETI

SME and mid-cap leaders

Growth has stalled, or your market moves faster than your plan.

What you get
  • A map of your value chain
  • 3 to 5 quantified growth levers
  • Named clients, partners or acquisition targets
  • A first AI tool in production in your teams
PE · M&A

Funds and strategy / M&A teams

You need a view on a technology, a market or a target without spending six months on it.

What you get
  • Sector thesis and target mapping
  • RFI and platform assessment
  • Technology and commercial due diligence
  • Integration plan and post-deal steering
Deeptech

Deeptech founders and CxOs

The technology works. The market, the offer and the raise still need framing.

What you get
  • Product strategy and roadmap
  • Offer and go-to-market by segment
  • Business plan and investor deck
  • Industrial partnerships
02Method

One engagement, four deliverables.

The same sequence whether you run an industrial mid-cap, a fund or a startup. Every step leaves you with something you keep.

  1. Map the value chain

    Where margin is made, where it leaks, where competitors are absent.

    Deliverable Value chain map
  2. Quantify 3 to 5 levers

    For each lever: estimated impact, cost, timing and a named owner.

    Deliverable Ranked, quantified levers
  3. Name the targets

    Clients, partners or acquisitions, with a list and an order of approach.

    Deliverable Qualified target list
  4. Put an AI tool in production

    An agentic environment built around your business, used by your teams when the engagement ends.

04Formats

Fixed fee, not day rate.

A

Strategy engagement

A defined scope, deliverables and a fixed fee per period. You pay for an outcome, not a number of days.

B

Fractional head of strategy

I hold the strategy role over time, with a steering committee and quarterly milestones.

C

M&A and due diligence

From investment thesis to integration: scouting, RFI, target assessment, first hundred days plan.
