I benefited from an individual coaching with Jacques-François. The coaching framework (confidentiality, caring, impartiality) allowed me to take a deep dive in my methods and my ecosystem. Working sessions are set up around concrete case studies, with the support of strategic tools, providing a better understanding of interactions. We gain impact!
In our quest to develop and launch the next revolution of quantum computers , Alice & Bob is firmly positioned at the forefront of technological breakthroughs. By collaborating closely with Mathieu, we are implementing a strategic intellectual property strategy that strengthens our ecosystem of partners and guarantees our leadership in the field. Mathieu has unrivalled experience with academic research institutes and a fine-grained understanding of the challenges we are facing as a deeptech startup.
Florence transformed an ESG due diligence into a true exploration of our risks and opportunities related to sustainability issues. We were able to reliably assess our environmental and social contribution, and we are building a roadmap that sets our course and allows us to foster a constructive dialogue with all our stakeholders. Thanks to Florence, ESG is no longer a simple formal reporting but a true value creation process.
