A committed manager, hands-on man and entrepreneur, with a strong ability to adapt, I have led teams in fast-growing businesses as well as in crisis situations for 30 years.
My field of expertise is industry in general and professional distribution, with numerous successful experiences in electrical equipment and building chemistry.
I built the development and success of the companies I managed by relying on the development of individuals and the collective.
Running a business is a challenge and a constant challenge, a mission, a great responsibility that often provides a lot of pleasure but is sometimes associated with a strong feeling of loneliness.
This is why, after 30 years at the helm, I now want to act as a Sparring Partner to support and advise other top managers, managers and their shareholders, with kindness, a high level of standards and discretion, by committing myself to their side to guarantee their professional success as well as the long-term performance of their company.
I decided to join Visconti for its humanist values, its ethical charter, the wealth and diversity of its group of former managers with very complementary professional experiences and an extensive and varied network. But also for its innovative, effective and truly business-oriented method.
VISCONTI is the leading player in business executive coaching by managers exclusively: “Leaders challenging Leaders.”
Our approach is pragmatic, innovative and adapted.
We have 3 clear goals:
1/ develop the value of the company,
2/ progress in the management profession,
3/ maintain a fair balance of life.
