About
Hi to all of you!
I’ve literally lived the entrepreneurship mindset for ages (starting with the first online community I built as a teenager a decade ago which found “product-market fit” in a “lean” way, before those terms were even part of my vocabulary!).
To sum it up: I help companies nail PMF ? & thrive as product-led ♻️, sales-enabled ? and talent-empowering ones ?
? I help startups and businesses:
– Find PMF.
– Attract Leads.
– Delight Users.
– Retain Customers.
– and turn them in Brand Ambassadors!
—
Product-led as in:
– Being, feeling, breathing, living in the shoes of their personas
– “Agilely starting with why in a lean scrum way” if you see what I mean… but not only ^^.
– …
? Sales-enabled as in:
– Breaking free from corporate/department/role silos
– Having Marketing + Sales + Customer Success genuinely work together
– …
? Talent-entitling as in:
– Inclusive and/or remote workforce welcoming
– Focusing on growing skills and opportunities for team members
– …
? Want me to be your advisor/mentor? ? ACT NOW! ^^.

Mentorship motivation
- I am looking for new investments
- I like to learn about industries and new businesses
- I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
- I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent
- I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat
Sharing is caring. Teaching is consolidating. Talking is eye-opening!
I love to help because by giving without expectation, I receive so much and in often unexpected ways!
I’ve also always loved passing on (academic support around the family, then first-year mentor in college, and finally startup mentor in several organizations right now).
Being a volunteer startup mentor as I already have been for a while in many other NGOs is what I thrive for (it helps me focus on other things than what I have at hand, and almost always helps me see things differently when I refocus on them thanks to me giving tips on something mostly unrelated! Some neurons might trigger unconsciously… I have no explanation for this phenomena 🙂
