C-Levels know this feeling that keeps you awake at night: An urge to achieve results + doubts whether the teams will get there. And usually, it’s not technology or market forces issues that get in the way. It’s leadership weakness: - Vision that doesn’t translate into strategy - Strategy that do not translate into operational priorities - Decisions on org and teams that are avoided - No feedback. Just blaming. - Fear of missing > courage to change things - No performance system. Just fire fighting Feels familiar, isn’t it? I’m Michael. I’ve spent 2 decades, moving from intern to global C-Level at an F100 company, leading global transformations across Technology, Consumer, Retail, e-commerce and Sport verticals. I’ve played across the end to end value chain of Nike Inc, PepsiCo and HP, from Finance to Strategy, Procurement, Supply Chain and Operations. Today, I help F500 and PE-backed companies achieve aggressive growth, through 3 dimensions: - INSPIRE: Opening up hearts and minds on what it takes to achieve high, sustainable performance. (keynotes, conferences, athlete-led experiences) - ENABLE: Providing tools and systems to make performance inevitable (assessments, workshops, programs, executive coaching) - DRIVE: Jumping in to lead high stakes transformations for companies who want to break records, not people. (Operating partner, Interim Chief Transformation Officer) Beyond advisory work: - I am passionate about sport and I consider that no matter the job you hold, if you strive for performance, you’re an athlete. - I own and lead Trajectoires Performance, a pioneering French agency that has prepared +5000 olympic and pros athletes to shine off the field too, during and post-career. - Guest lecturer in prestigious business schools, business clubs and institutional forums to equip the next generation of talents with the leadership skills they need to thrive. - I now enjoy that sweet seaside dad life in La Rochelle (FR), after 20yrs of expat life.
