À propos

Introduction

Executive MBA, Engineer, Group CFO @ La Maison Française du Verre (International Cookware / Pyrex), Growth, Acquisition, Post-Merger Integration, LBO, private equity. Strategic and Operational CFO, I have worked in 2024 at Cooper Consumer Health (over-the-counter pharmaceutical pure player, lifescience) on the integration of the Viatris OTC business in France. Previously, as the Group Chief Financial Officer at Groupe Brandt, a leading manufacturer of household appliances, I had been leading the relaunch and turnaround plan, securing the financing and capital operations, and managing the direct relationship with banks and shareholders (family fund). I have over 18 years of experience as a CFO in the premium consumer goods industry (Pyrex, Brandt, de Dietrich, Sauter, Vedette, Husqvarna, Gardena, Danone, Evian, Essilor), working in Europe and Asia, and overseeing a large range of products and distribution channels. With an engineering background and an executive MBA from ESSEC Business School, I have developed strong analytical, financial, and operational skills, as well as a business-oriented, strategic, and detail-oriented mindset. I have a proven track record in finance, operations, supply chain, legal, and internal control, as well as in growth and productivity plans, customer financial services, and M&A. I am passionate about leading change, driving performance, and creating value for the company and its stakeholders.
