MISSION
International development is always a major undertaking for a company. It is a cross-functional project that engages every department — legal, technical, production, sales, supply chain, and more — often within tight deadlines. However, the potential of international markets is so significant that it is wise to seek external advice to:
-
Build a strategy tailored to your specific challenges and goals
-
Provide key metrics and market insights to guide decision-making
-
Review and refine your current development plans and business strategies
-
Pursue external growth through partnerships and mergers & acquisitions (M&A)
...from strategy,
to operationnal deployment...
An experienced International Director, former expatriate (10 years), with a strong background in managing complex projects in defense, construction, and industry. I work with executive management, project directors, and shareholders to drive international growth and operational excellence.
