About

Helping German industrial SMEs win the French market — strategically, not accidentally. Most Mittelstand companies enter France through distributors, trade fairs, or opportunistic contacts. Few build a structured market entry engine. I design and operate lean Allbound GTM systems that turn France from an export experiment into a controlled growth channel. Not marketing. Not lead gen. Not a local sales rep. But a structured approach combining: - Strategic segmentation (where you can actually win — not where the market is big) - ICP & decision logic mapping - Regulatory & market signal analysis (France 2030, industry clusters, strategic sectors) - Account-based activation (ABX) - Lean infrastructure design (Airtable, AI-assisted research, signal tracking) - Hands-on execution until first qualified pipeline I operate as a fractional GTM architect for industrial founders and export managers who want: → market clarity before hiring → first traction before scaling → structure before spending Based in Cologne. Native French. Fluent German and English. Currently building the French market engine for a German advanced manufacturing company. France is not complicated. It’s just structured differently. I build the structure.
