Bio
François Huberland
I have worked with Hélène as a business coach for my project during 12 months. She is a motivated and hard work person, who can give everything for a project. Hélène helped me a lot on my project, taking the right distance to answer properly market and strategy questions. Unfortunately, we concluded that the market was not big enough to launch a spin-off. Otherwise, I would have been really happy to have her by my side !
PAMPFER Serge
Working with Helene for a couple of years has been a privilege ... I found Helene to be sharp and autonomous, driven by the need to bring efficiency and focus into the biotech and medtech start-ups that she had the responsability to coach. Helene is quick to spot inflection points along the value creation trajectory of these emerging entities and to come up with technological, managerial and financial action plans so as to leverage their full potential.
