A strong supporter of collaborative and diverse approaches (both in terms of content and form), Thierry works within an international ecosystem of consultants (HR, strategy, organisations... ), leaders and other high-level professionals (sportsmen and women, artists, psychologists... ) whom he regularly calls upon to complement his skill set and thus best meet the specific needs of executive teams.
An experience as CEO

Steering the Executive Management Team from 2013 to 2018
"I admired Thierry's cross-functionality in understanding the ins and outs of all management functions and his formidable verticality when it came to delving deeply into a key process. His exemplary work capacity, his availability, his relevant questioning... and his caustic humour are indisputably part of his trademark."
