Introduction
I sell the way a sociologist would: I read the people and the system before I read the script. Work out what actually moves a buyer or a team, then build the thing that gets it there. That instinct has taken me across the full commercial arc. At Monotype I was the first native French BDR dedicated to the market, and I turned what had been scattered, unsystematic effort into a structured motion. I built the France territory and segment model the Account Executives were missing, from Salesforce data, and hit quota inside three months. I went on to lead a distributed team of eight across four countries that delivered 100 to 160 percent of quota for six straight quarters, and I cared as much about developing the people as hitting the number. Several of them moved into Account Executive seats. Then I went independent. As a GTM consultant I own client relationships end to end, from spotting the opportunity to delivering it: market and competitor research, ICP, go-to-market strategy, and the occasional scrappy save, like a specialty-coffee brand's stalled 300-box run, resold out through new storytelling over one holiday season. I build my own AI automations (n8n, Claude, MCP) for research and delivery, I work in French, English and Spanish, and I am remote-ready across EMEA and LATAM. If you are building an early GTM motion, or you just want someone who treats client relationships as more than a pipeline number, let's talk. [email protected]

Cross-cultural GTM consultancy. I help companies enter and grow in new markets. - Own client relationships end to end, from first conversation to delivery, across three paying clients in two countries and sectors. - For a LATAM edtech founder: ran competitor research, defined the ICP, built the go-to-market strategy, and trained their first business development hire to run it. - For a specialty-coffee brand: reframed the storytelling and social strategy and took a stalled 300-box run from zero sales to sold out over one holiday season. - Build my own AI automations (n8n, Claude, MCP) for research and enrichment, which cut research time and sharpen every client insight.
