Former CEO, M&A specialist, bilingual French-English — based in Florida and a Realtor with World Class Realty. I bring a large-deal methodology to your acquisition.
For years, I worked as CFO, CIO, then CEO on complex M&A operations — more than $200 million in transactions. Deals where analytical rigor, due diligence quality, and financing structure make all the difference between a good acquisition and a costly mistake.
I chose Florida. And when I started looking at how the SMB acquisition market worked here for French-speaking investors, I realized something: there's a structural bias in favor of the seller. Buyers deserve a far more rigorous approach than what the market offers.
That's why I built this offering. Not to sell listings. To guide entrepreneurs like myself through a decision that shapes their future, their family, and their capital.
I'm an advisor and realtor, but first and foremost a former business executive who negotiated major deals between multinationals, and later put $500K of my own equity into my own startup.
If you're looking for someone who supports you as a peer — who tells you what he really thinks of a deal, who flags concerns as soon as they arise — then we should talk.

"I had the pen in hand to finalize the purchase of a $700K franchise. Didier proved to me, with the numbers, that I couldn't sustain the pace of new-customer acquisition that this type of business demands. Hard to hear — but it saved me a lot of trouble."

"Didier helped me develop a biotech product for livestock, drawing on a network of veterinarians in Florida. A complex pivot, negotiated together."

"A bad partnership — I wanted a fight. Didier convinced me and helped me sell my stake at the best price. I'm now the only one who came out ahead in that deal."
