I support SMEs, mid-sized companies and groups across French-speaking Switzerland when the finance function matters most: a CFO gap, investment and growth, restructuring, mid-term strategy, or building proper performance management.
What I believe. Companies need to react faster than ever: a key person leaves, new technologies arrive, markets speed up, or a cash crunch hits. Few have the finance expertise in-house to respond overnight.
What I do. Bring that expertise at the critical moment, for as long as it is needed, and leave a stronger finance function behind.
Closings, cash, banks, board of directors: continuity is secured during recruitment or leave.
Business cases, investment decisions, project tracking: funding growth with sound decisions and a finance function that keeps pace.
Strategic plan and 3–5 year business plan: turning management’s vision into a quantified financial trajectory and clear priorities.
13-week cash plan, cost reduction, site reorganization: steering difficult decisions with method.
Dashboards, KPIs, SAP or ERP projects, and streamlined reporting with AI tools: less manual work, more time for analysis, with your data kept confidential.
Training, structuring and upskilling the finance team so it becomes a true business partner to management.
I lead the finance function full-time or near full-time, for a defined period, with a clear mandate and objectives.
A senior CFO a few days a month, for SMEs that need that level of oversight without the cost of a full-time hire.
A defined scope, a concrete deliverable, a set timeline.
One point of contact from first call to final handover. No report left in a drawer: decisions, tools, and a more self-sufficient team.
Over twenty years in finance leadership at a Fortune 100 international industrial group, in Switzerland, Italy and France. I owned P&Ls, budgets and multi-country reporting, led growth investments as well as capacity reduction programs, and developed finance teams.
Today I bring that experience to companies in French-speaking Switzerland, with the methods of a large group, and the pragmatism and closeness an SME expects.
Several finance leadership / CFO roles in very different contexts (industrial turnaround, full finance leadership of a subsidiary with a board mandate, a global division, building a new organization): I know how to get up to speed fast, in SMEs and large groups alike.
Valais, Vaud, Geneva and Fribourg first. On-site where it matters (closings, board meetings, teams), remote for the rest.
A confidential, no-obligation 30-minute first call. I reply within 48 hours.
Describe your company and your need in a few lines: Interim CFO, Fractional CFO or a targeted assignment. I will then suggest a time for an initial conversation.
