I speak from the other side of the table
Most speakers talk about marketing. I spent a year evaluating companies to buy them.
I studied deals, went through balance sheets, made offers and sat through a full due diligence. And the same thing came up every time. Revenue that looks solid until you look at client concentration. Growth that looks strong until you realize it rests entirely on the founder. Systems that exist, but only inside somebody's head.
I came out of it with a conclusion that changes how you look at your own company: most marketing problems are valuation problems in disguise.
What I bring your audience isn't one more method. It's what a buyer sees when they look at their company, and what to change so it's freer to run today and worth more tomorrow.
What they understand by the end
01
Why their growth stops every time they stop, and where to start if they want off the critical path.
02
How to build an acquisition engine on LinkedIn and by email that produces meetings without them spending their days on it.
03
Why depending on three big clients costs far more than they think, and how to bring that exposure down.
04
What a buyer looks at first, even if they have no intention of selling. Because those are exactly the same levers that make a company pleasant to run.
One angle, three depths
Each format adjusts to your audience, from the most operational to the most strategic. Tell me who I'm talking to and I'll set the depth.

My book in their hands
I bring copies of The Valuation Gap, given to attendees and included in the engagement.
The number adjusts to the size of your room, up to around a hundred copies. We settle it beforehand so nobody leaves carrying boxes of unsold books.
Your audience walks away with something solid rather than a page of notes. And you get one more argument for your promotion before the event.

Where you've heard me
Around thirty podcasts and speaking engagements, in France and in the United States. Here are a few, to listen to directly.
In short
Founder, LinkedIn coach, entrepreneurship speaker and author of The Valuation Gap.
I started from zero in 2017 after leaving a management job, built my consulting business with no network, trained more than 120 B2B professionals, then founded my agency in New York where I take service companies toward growth that no longer depends on their founder.
After a year spent evaluating companies to acquire, I also host a monthly gathering for entrepreneurs in New York.
Common questions
One angle in three depths. Growth that no longer depends on the founder, the acquisition engine on LinkedIn and by email, and what genuinely makes a service business valuable. I adjust depending on whether your audience is independents, owners of small and mid-sized firms, or people thinking about handing the business on.
English and French. I speak regularly in both, in the United States and in France, and I adapt the same material to one audience or the other.
Yes, across the United States and internationally. I also speak remotely for webinars, hybrid formats and podcasts, which makes the scheduling a lot easier.
A thirty to sixty minute keynote with questions from the room, a panel or roundtable, a hands-on workshop where everyone leaves with something built, and podcasts or interviews.
Yes, and the number of copies adjusts to the size of your room, up to around a hundred. We settle it together beforehand.
Write to me with your event, your audience, your date and the format you have in mind. I answer quickly and I'll tell you straight if I'm the right person for your audience.
