Every company has a story it's trying to tell. Some are stuck on the first
chapter or have lost the thread halfway through. Some are rewriting it
under pressure, with the clock running. And some are in the best possible
problem: growing fast, needing to scale the team and the brand to match.
I've been there – through rapid expansion and downsizes, leadership
shakeups, M&A processes, and the quiet moments when nobody knows what
to say.
Three ways to work together.
№ 01
Fractional executive.
One to three days a week, in the seat. I take a function the company needs run – Marketing, Revenue, GTM, People, Operations, or Chief of Staff – depending on what's actually needed. I hire who needs hiring, decide what needs deciding, and free you to focus on what only you can do. And I'm in the room for what doesn't fit in any one function – vision, product, the calls only the executive team can make.
Right for you if you need someone who can hold a function and think about the whole company alongside you.
№ 02
Advisory.
A regular cadence outside the org chart. For founders and execs who already have a team and a plan, and want a senior operator to think with – about the next quarter's bets, the leadership decisions that don't have an obvious right answer, the conversations you'd rather not have alone. I'm not in the day-to-day, but close enough to the work to be useful.
Right for you if the team is in place and what you need is a trusted person to pressure-test the plan.
№ 03
Sparring, privately.
For leaders who sense the hardest problem they're carrying is the one inside themselves. A room with no audience and no agenda – confidential, off the org chart, off the record. Just the time to think it through with someone who has been in your seat, and seen this kind of problem up close, more than once.
Right for you if what's getting in the way isn't the company – it's you, and you want someone to think it through with.
If you recognize yourself here…
Founder or CEO
Your team is stuck and you can't quite name why. The strategy looks fine on paper, the hires are good, and yet things aren't landing. You need someone to sit in the room and ask the obvious question, not another deck.
European ← → North America
You're a European company starting to take the US seriously (or the other way round). Or you're already there and finding it harder than the plan suggested. You want someone who has actually worked on that move, not someone who has watched others try.
GTM under pressure
GTM is holding up on the surface but the engine underneath is straining. Better to address it before it becomes visible. You want a senior operator who can read the signals and help you move before it becomes a crisis.
Strategic moment
Something significant is coming – an exit, a restructuring, a pivot. You want someone in the room who has been through one before and knows what it actually feels like from the inside.
Board or investor
Your portfolio company is talented, well-funded, and somehow still slow. You need someone to go in, understand what's really happening, and tell you whether the right intervention is an operator, a coach, or an honest conversation with the founder.
What I bring to the room.
№ 01
A steady hand in constant change.
I have been the constant while the companies around me went through existential change: downsizing, leadership change and team rebuilds, GTM reorganization.
№ 02
A guide between business cultures.
I have built and run teams on both sides of the Atlantic. I understand how culture varies between the US and Europe, between a startup and a Fortune 500 company, and how to use what each does well.
№ 03
A focus on the destination.
Whatever the destination is – an exit, a launch, a turnaround, a rebuild – I'm focused on getting the team there. And if the destination is not clear, I'll work on that first.
№ 04
A vision and framework for what's next.
Transformation is the discipline of knowing what to automate, what to protect, and how to evolve a team when the rules underneath are changing.

In their words
What it's like to work with me.
Stève doesn't just deliver results – he builds high-performing teams. He energizes people, fosters creativity, and creates a real sense of ownership and alignment, paired with a structured approach that drives focus and performance.
I don't think there is anything that Stève can't do. His creativity and strategic guidance strengthened our brand across new markets, and his understanding of brand storytelling makes him an asset to any organization.

Are we a match?
The best way to know is a conversation.
Twenty minutes. No deck, no pitch. I'll ask what's actually going on, and we'll see whether this makes sense for both of us.
