About me

Based in London & Paris, and working globally, I'm a strategy trainer, consultant, facilitator & coach. I specialise in helping teams and organisations solve complex problems. A French & British rocket-scientist by training, I've been lecturing on strategic thinking and complex problem solving to the CEOs and management teams of major corporations and consulting firms around the world for the best part of 20 years. I make smart people smarter

I started my career in management consulting (with Deloitte), and then completed my MBA at INSEAD. I've been working as a strategist ever since, first with Kalchas (a medium-sized Bain and McKinsey spin-off) and then with Instigate Group, where I've worked with some of the leading organisations in media, retail, consumer goods, financial services, industry, and consulting.

I currently divide my time between three areas of equal interest & excitement:

  • Designing & delivering strategic thinking sessions (training, talks, etc)

  • Facilitating strategic away-days for boards and management teams

  • Conducting high-impact strategy projects & ideas generation challenge
