Introduction
Operating Partner et membre de Comex à temps partagé pour les start-ups, scale-ups et small caps — et pour les fonds PE qui les accompagnent. Certains moments changent la trajectoire d’une entreprise : la mise sur le marché, le passage à l’échelle de la machine commerciale, la création d’un nouveau relais de croissance, une acquisition et son intégration, l’IA mise au service de la marge. C’est sur ces moments que j’interviens.

Pour les dirigeants - BUILD — la mise sur le marché et un premier moteur commercial. - SCALE — croissance et rentabilité : nouveaux relais, RevOps, KPIs, développement international. - TRANSFORM — le prochain cap : croissance externe, changement de modèle, IA levier de marge. Pour les fonds PE et boutiques M&A - Avant le deal — qualification des cibles. - Pendant le deal — le regard d’opérateur en due diligence, en complément de vos équipes financières et juridiques. - Après le deal — PMI et suivi indépendant de la création de valeur. → oxava.eu → [email protected]
