About Olivier

Professionnel du conseil aux entreprises dans le développement de leurs activités commerciales à l’international.

Disposant d’un carnet d’adresses, je facilite l’ouverture des canaux de distribution en format retail, distribution spécialisée et online.

Expert de la zone Asie-Pacifique (15 ans en Chine, 7 au Japon), parlant chinois et japonais couramment, je sais adapter l’offre de marque aux marchés spécifiques et développer ses ventes sur des territoires complexes.

Spécialisé en produits agro-alimentaires, mode et cosmétiques, je travaille avec des marques à potentiel, qu’elles soient connues ou plus discrètes, toujours dans le but à déterminer leurs forces et leurs singularités pour chaque territoire.

Mes sociétés sont présentes à Hong Kong et à Tokyo et plus récemment à Cape Town, pour optimiser la présence auprès des opérateurs régionaux et assurer une performance économique de la mission.
