This page gathers the recommendations made by the people I worked with during the 10 past years in Telecoms/Medias sector where I led challenging projects in France, for Middle East, african and european countries.
My achievements include various areas of competencies as:

“During RISKANGEL Night held on April 2008, I was invited by Sandrine Joseph to present my new project for my company PLANIPE. Sandrine had quickly understand our business model and the investment opportunity for her investors network. We were looking for funds for our new software dedicated to forecasting and inventory optimization. As the developments were already finished, we needed working capital to develop our marketing and sales operations. During a 15mn pitch facing selected investors and experts, I pointed out our strategy, the strengh of our product, the quality of our team, the interest of our clients to deploy such an product in their information system. After my presentation, 2 persons were interested by the project: the first one was a business angel and the second one, a former French Minister who will support me in developing my business in Laval city. The deal was made within 2 months: we have increased our capital by 250 000 €. If the RISKANGEL network allowed us to raise the funds, we had also found relevant and good business partners.”
