EXPERIENCE IN PRACTICE

Circumstances change. Practice shapes the approach.

These cases explain my contribution, the choices made and the lessons learned. They are anonymised accounts of past experience, to be considered in the context of each new engagement.

DECISIONS, ACTIONS AND LESSONS

Experience that connects strategy with practice.

Selected situations from my career, with organisations kept anonymous. They show how I make decisions, work with teams and adapt execution to the circumstances.

International development

PARTNERSHIPS & MARKET ACCESS

Rebuilding an international partnership.

Restore a strained commercial relationship and focus effort on the products and channels that fit the market.

Context: A distribution partnership was facing commercial and relationship difficulties in an international market. Trust and the local approach needed to be revisited.
My contribution: I renewed the dialogue through field visits, organised joint activities and worked with the partner on products, channels and local expectations.
Observed outcome: The partnership regained commercial momentum, with sales growth and a stronger market presence.
Lesson: Market potential depends on the quality of the relationship, cultural understanding and consistent local execution.

Entrepreneurship & transformation

CREATION, PIVOT & SALE

Giving a technology idea a commercial direction.

Turn a broad product ambition into a focused offering built around a clear professional need.

Context: A startup founded on a broad technology proposition needed to define its market and demonstrate the value of its offering.
My contribution: I refocused the business on a specialist recruitment need, worked with the technical team on the product and led funding, partnerships and commercial development.
Observed outcome: The business developed a specialist offering, secured funding and was taken through to a sale.
Lesson: A relevant customer need, a clear proposition and commercial execution give innovation its direction.

Applied AI & business tools

DESIGN & ADOPTION

Turning an AI idea into a usable tool.

Connect the business goal, available information and everyday tasks to design a useful solution.

Context: Across several projects, ideas for applications or automation needed a clear definition before they could be tested and used.
My contribution: I defined the needs, designed user journeys and specifications, then led AI-assisted prototyping, integrations, testing and access rules.
Observed outcome: Prototypes and applications were built across different domains, with functions tied to the original need and an explicit framework for use.
Lesson: Value shows up in use: the action made easier, the decision better prepared and the user’s ability to work with the tool.

Before we talk

What is the right starting point?

A 15-minute conversation helps us understand your challenge and assess whether my involvement is relevant. It may lead to a diagnostic, sprint or fractional mandate, with a defined scope before any commitment.

Do you work with public sector organisations?

Yes. I adapt the engagement for local authorities, agencies, public administrations and business support organisations: strategy, ecosystem analysis, partnerships and innovation adoption. Roles and terms are defined around the project, including work within a consortium.

How are fees determined?

They depend on the agreed scope, deliverables, responsibilities and time commitment. You receive a proposal before work begins. Founder Office group and individual formats are also defined through a scoping conversation.

Is AI always used?

I use it when the need and conditions of the engagement justify it. Sources, confidentiality, validation of results and access rules are discussed when defining the scope.

How do international engagements work?

I combine remote work and time on the ground according to the agreed need. We define the target market, travel, timeline and working language together. The website’s translations do not determine the language of the engagement.
