Shared frame of referenceThe timeline was tight: we had to present this work to our board on a fixed date, and Jérôme orchestrated the whole thing perfectly while holding that short deadline. He delivered a complete piece of work that gave us clarity on the French production market and laid the foundations for a clear vision and a shared financial reading, paving the way to finalising a business plan. Our board approved the broad direction and praised the excellent work done. Jérôme speaks to creators and shareholders alike, and turns confused situations into clear direction that everyone shares.
Working with Jérôme has been a real pleasure, one of the best things in recent years. He is a tireless worker, who spreads his enthusiasm to the rest of the team, a great colleague. He has played a very important role in strengthening the relationship with our main partners in Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Jérôme worked in my team during my Canal+ year. He is a skilled strategist, a forward-thinking media specialist, a good team member. He is now an excellent and proactive advocate of the Melody TV channel.
I warmly recommend Jérôme for his interpersonal and managerial qualities, his natural ability to rally his own teams and those of his partners, his tenacity and his focus on results. He is also a recognised expert in the audiovisual world. And, above all, the man is deeply loyal.
Jérôme steps in to decode the sector's complex shifts, streaming, FAST, business models. Beyond his technical expertise, he brings a strategic vision and immediately actionable frameworks.
We have worked together for several years, he as director of the Melody channel, and I as head of programme information at Canal+. We spoke frequently to build the value of the Melody channel and its programmes. What I particularly appreciate in Jérôme is the balance he strikes between determination, thoughtfulness and a sense of responsibility. His professionalism, reliability and integrity make him a valued partner.
