BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Business Development is a vast field, and each company has its own definition of the scope it covers. However, regardless of whether it's about strategic vision or field sales, the first step towards a success story is always knowing your market.
For me, it's all about analyzing the market and finding out the best approach for you to develop your business.
Here are a few examples of topics I have worked on:
-
Market structure assessment, analysis and presentation
-
Competition analysis
-
Assessment of development potential
-
Development of optimum sales approaches based on market specifics
-
Branding - name, logo and positioning choices
DATA ANALYTICS
We live in the age of data. We have now capabilities to collect data like never before; the key is to know what to do with it.
For me, the starting point should always be: what do I want to achieve? How can I make sur I did?
There are two types of data I worked with.
-
Data for monitoring. Projects I did include:
-
Analysis and selection of KPIs for dashboards at an executive level
-
Set-up of KPIs for activity monitoring at an operational level, such as monitoring of marketing campaigns
-
-
Data for analysis, operational development and/or optimization. There are many experts and tools on the market which specialize in any field and I am not a developer nor an expert data cruncher. However, these tools and often the techies working on them won't help you build a proper strategy, which was the objective of a few projects I have worked on:
-
Development of a CRM strategy for connected products based on collected data about customer behavior
-
Set-up of an S&OP Excel-tool to improve sales forecasts and ultimately optimize production prioritization and stock management
-
DIGITAL MARKETING
Digital Marketing, just like Business Development, is a vast field, covering from strategy definition to production of content.
In my career I've had the chance to work on the whole value chain of digital marketing. The way I approach marketing is highly influenced by my engineering background: all I build must have a clear target and a way to monitor progress and achievements - I call it marketing by the numbers.
Here are a few examples of topics I tackled:
-
Definition of marketing strategy from A to Z
-
(Re-) Design of websites & definition of online presence strategy
-
(Re-) Definition of CRM strategy
-
Set-up and monitoring of ad campaigns on Social Media - LinkedIn, Facebook
-
Monitoring of agencies for content production
-

MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
What is actually a management consultant?
It is someone who is bent to the exercise of coming to a new company he doesn't know, learning fast about the key characteristics of the business, understanding the organization, its strengths and weaknesses; assessing and analyzing the situation, identifying improvement areas; and ultimately helping the customer set up projects to achieve his goals.
Starting a career as a management consultant has armed me with the right methodology and tools to tackle any problem using a structured approach, a high dose of curiosity and diligence, and communication skills to address C-level stakeholders.
A lot of the projects I worked on tackle the question of digital transformation: assess the situation, design a target, find the right tools to achieve said-target, and last but not least support the change in the company.
Some of the projects I have worked on include:
-
Set up of digital transformation projects, on multiple topics:
-
Product Lifecycle Management

Supply Chain Management
-
Sales Forecasts
-
Purchasing
