« What drives me is supporting leaders to be at their full power, helping talents find their true place, strengthening teams, and guiding organizations to evolve towards greater agility and coherence. »

To achieve this, rigor, clarity, and kindness are essential. Knowing how to challenge habits and shift boundaries, all while moving forward with respect and humanity.

1.  A career in international finance

An experience shaped by standards of excellence

A former trader and manager in London, Gilles developed a keen understanding of demanding environments. There, he learned to maintain clarity amid complexity, within organizations in constant motion.

I built my coaching vision based on my own leadership experience in high-pressure settings. Climbing the peaks of the Himalayas and practicing technical extreme sports, which I particularly enjoy, have been assets in learning to better know myself and navigate challenging contexts with accuracy. “ 

2.  A deep understanding of myself and human dynamics

" By cultivating curiosity, openness, and agility, I have learned to better know myself and leverage my strengths to move forward with precision. ”

He also draws from his passions (mountaineering, yoga, acting) to encourage his clients to:

  • embrace their vulnerability and reconnect with their deepest dreams and ambitions;

  • mobilize their endurance to keep going, even in the face of obstacles.

Trained in coaching, personal development, at the Actors Studio, and in various yogas, he harnesses the power of the mind, emotions, and body to support profound transformations.

“ I work on invisible barriers: limiting stories, discomfort zones, blockages, power dynamics, while exploring group dynamics. Focusing on deep motivational levers is the key to any individual and collective transformation.

My challenge today: to support cultural change within organizations. I draw strength from collective intelligence, team energy, and my own leadership experience in demanding environments.“

3.  A tailored and agile offering

From individual coaching to organizational coaching, including collective coaching, Gilles supports all levels of the company with a progressive, fluid, and interconnected approach.

Experienced in working with large groups such as L’Oréal and BNP Paribas, as well as SMEs and Fintechs, he skillfully navigates complex and changing environments with creativity and agility.
