“The first enemy to fight is within oneself, and often it is the only one.”— C. Orban

Supporting leaders means entering the heart of their decision-making system to observe the reality they create. A reality shaped by their obstacles, beliefs, and fears, which limit their power to act. It involves helping them gain perspective, challenge their vision, and embrace ambitious goals. It’s about enabling them to dare, simply by remembering that one does not make a company—it is the company that makes or unmakes us!

Background and Experience

With a Master’s degree in Literature and Business School in her pocket, she began her career in communication and advertising, evolving for over 10 years within major groups (Publicis, McCann…) serving high-profile brands (Nespresso, Fnac éveil & jeux, Canal+, Lancôme…).

In 2008, she co-founded a consulting firm and later embarked on entrepreneurship by co-founding madamepopandkids.fr, an innovative website that transforms children’s drawings into printed objects.

After seven years, three graphic designers, five business angels, and a fundraising round, she reflected on her next adventure and realized her passion for human systems. Her fourth professional life would be strategic support.

Since then, she has been assisting executives in transition or new roles, leaders of family-owned SMEs seeking legitimacy, and managers facing scaling challenges.

Experience as Sparring Partner

As a sparring partner, she supports leaders in their strategic and human performance based on three pillars: IMPACT – HARMONY – POWER. Impact, at the heart of leadership, enables one to inspire and transform.

Together, they refine the vision, structure clear communication, and strengthen the leader’s influence with their teams, executive committee, and stakeholders. Harmony, to reconcile ambition with sustainability.

Success is not only measured by financial results or achieved objectives but also by maintaining a harmonious balance between professional and personal demands.

Power, finally, as a lever for unlocking inner potential. This power is not based on domination but on internal resources, audacity, and resilience.
