About

Cross-Border Ecosystem Builder focused on international market environments across Europe and the USMCA region. I help organisations structure, activate and stabilise complex cross-border markets where growth depends as much on trust, alignment and local understanding as on strategy itself. My experience spans: - industrial and technical B2B environments - software, hardware and connected industries - OEM, distributor-led and multi-partner ecosystems - Regulated, operational and stakeholder-intensive environments I work at the intersection of: - market development - partner ecosystems - stakeholder alignment - and field execution This includes: - go-to-market structuring - international partner coordination - distributor and ecosystem activation - cross-functional alignment across executive, technical and operational stakeholders My approach remains pragmatic, multicultural and field-oriented: helping organisations reconnect fragmented environments, clarify priorities, and build more scalable and sustainable international structures. - The field remains my anchor point. - Reflection helps give it structure and perspective. International exposure across Europe and the Americas with operational capabilities in French, English, German and Spanish. Dual EU (France) and Canadian citizenship supporting long-term engagement across Europe and the USMCA region.
