About Emmanuel

Entrepreneurship and building new opportunities have always been part of my DNA, as I come from an entrepreneur family. I have been leading growth of SME companies through international sales strategy and operation, including external growth and M&A operations.

I developped strong experiences and expertise in expanding business in the GCC countries, reason why I have moved to Dubai as a central strategic hub of business location for all GCC countries. I am provinding services for European companies looking for sales expansion in the region through strategy planning, sales operation and business development (end client / channels partners / prescriptors / strategic partnerships).

Based on the company expansion strategy, I also help in finding funds & investments (private equity/local family office) for any M&A operation.

My main field of knowledge are IT, softwares and tech but I am open for other market and will be transparent on my capacity to help or not.

I am still having one feet in the field as I am still acting as the chief commercial officer of a software company, with a team of 10 sales channel manager operating over different regions in the world (North EU & CIS, Southern EU & Africa, Middle East, India, APAC, Latin America). Strong operational and C-level experiences which continuously keep me learning and facing all kind of challenges which I wish to share with any SME companies to help them expanding their business internationally.

I have also a strong background in airport market and IT / softwares within the airport infrastructure with more than 65+ airports using the software I am leading as a chief commercial officer.
