Bio

Thanks to my experience as both a developer/Tech lead and Product manager, I can usually help navigate complicated tech landscapes while understanding the challenges for the Product and the customers/users. I have a go-to approach, pragmatic and results-oriented focus on setting relevant goals and KPIs and tracking them throughout the delivery of projects. I can help you: set up a roadmap, prioritize work, write good specifications that can allow you to work with remote tech teams, use a set of tools (that you can find on my profile), experiment and A/B testing, SEO and set up good KPIs that you can track through a dashboard for instance. While not something I do a lot anymore, I can still provide support if you were to need on preparing mockups and set up your WordPress website optimized with SEO and Speed.

Expertise

  • Bootstrapping

    Well, I founded two startups and although none of them ended up being giants, they allowed me to learn a lot about bootstrapping as budget is often tight. I love using tools to help facilitate the work and technics of growth hacking to help growth. Also I got a good amount of experience setting up website (mostly using Wordpress) that I am happy to share.

  • Idea validation

    One of the things product managers try to do is to validate an idea through experimentation and A/B testing. So I have been working with Google optimise in the past and few other tools that allow you to validate an idea while not investing in the development of the full features.

  • No-code

    One of the thing I am super keen is to help non-technical people finding tools that can help them avoiding coding. For instance Zappier is one of them or Wordpress, but nowadays there are more even for building apps.

  • Product analytics

    Part of my job as product manager is analyzing data gathered in products in order to inform decisions on what to do next or whether what has been done is successful. An important part of this is to set up the right goals and KPIs and I would be happy to provide help on that.

  • Product management

    As a group Product manager, I got experience in executing of a project (especially in agile) and managing a backlog of features and requirements. On top of that I can provide support on how to prioritize the work to be done on a product and the stakeholder management. One thing I am particularly keen to help on, especially for bootstrapping, is the power of experimentation when it comes to understand what will work.

  • Remote work

    I worked a lot in remote and managed remote teams or worked with remote contractors. I should be able to help you put everything in place in order to be successful. I can also recommend the type of team you are looking for in contractors either as designers or developers.

  • SEO

    Through my experience in Media and in the startup, I have been working quite a lot on SEO. While not being an expert, I can provide support to set up good practices to start properly.

  • Technology and tools

    I love learning new tools and trying to find whatever can simplify my life. I put most of the tools on my profile that I encountered in my career. Please do reach out if you need any help on them.

Toolkit

  • Google Analytics logo

    Google Analytics

    I used a lot of google analytics in both my entrepreneurship projects but also as part of my work in media. I can help for setting up a proper strategy to gather insight from a website using Google Analytics tools along with his best companion Google tag manager. I am not an expert though but would be able to give you the basics and explain how it is important to define what you would like to track.

  • Looker Studio (Google Data Studio) logo

    Looker Studio (Google Data Studio)

    I loved using Google Data Studio. This is an ideal tool for small budget that do not want yet to go to a solution like Tableau for instance. On top of that, I used it to build great dashboard using google analytics Data. The connection is native between those tools.

  • Google Tag Manager logo

    Google Tag Manager

    I used google Tag manager quite a lot (although less lately) but should be able to help you setting it up and/or explain what is it for and how powerful it is.

  • Google Search Console logo

    Google Search Console

    Well if you ever had a website this is a go to tool that is essential in monitoring and allowing google to properly index your pages. I used mostly when working in Media and on my personal websites.

  • Hotjar logo

    Hotjar

    I used Hotjar as part of my Product work. It is an amazing tool to get insight into your forms for instance and understand where your users are dropping. It helps to remove the bottleneck in your user experience. It does that while being very affordable.

  • HubSpot logo

    HubSpot

    Hubspot was the main CRM we used as part of the startup I created. It is a powerful CRM for small companies. It also provides a lot of capacity around workflows. For instance, you can use it to automatically retarget your leads, once. they contacted once either through a chat on your website or through a contact form. It integrates nicely with Wordpress.

  • Jira logo

    Jira

    I have extensive knowledge of JIRA along with Confluence. I set up some JIRA projects for multiple teams and integrated JIRA with Slack and other tools such as Zendesk. I can definitely help to spin off a JIRA and see how to use it as part of your IT development process. On top of that, I used both Automation & Advanced Roadmap in Jira to facilitate larger projects.

  • Mailchimp logo

    Mailchimp

    I used Mailchimp as the mail newsletter tool for most of the startups I helped or created. I am not an expert but if you need some help I should be able to provide that.

  • Trello logo

    Trello

    While I used JIRA in most of the companies I worked in, Trello had been my go-to planning tool, and even used it to manage work for small dev teams. This is free and very easy to use and in my opinion a must-have for any entrepreneur starting a business.

  • WordPress logo

    WordPress

    I worked a lot on WordPress as either personal projects or in companies. I am capable of helping integrate WordPress with other tools like Google Analytics for instance. I also have experience on optimizing WordPress for SEO & speed.

  • Zapier logo

    Zapier

    Zapier is a great tool for automation. If you need to get into I can provide some help and explain how you could use it as part of your processes. For instance, I used Zapier in order to get google Sheets automatically populated with information coming from Hubspot. But the possibility are pretty much illimited.

Finally worked in the sales to try to increase acquisition of customers mostly digitally.

  • Marketing Automation

    I created with two associates a startup that was marketing oriented. We developed a mystery shopper app that allowed people to locate missions in shops or restaurants. There I worked as the CTO/CPO and shaped the roadmap of the product. I also managed a team of contractors remotely that developed the app and the website. I then went to maintain those myself while helping with aligning company goals and client requirements.

  • Media and Entertainment
