Biography

A practical advisor for complex environments.

Sylvie has worked across complex acquisition, integration and transformation environments where organisational judgement is critical. Her work focuses on helping leaders understand not only what the value case requires, but whether the organisation is capable of delivering it.

Her experience spans global corporate acquisitions and private-equity-backed growth, gained across senior roles at Accenture and Azets and direct advisory work with boards and leadership teams.

She brings commercial fluency with human sensitivity — challenging where needed, supportive where it matters, always grounded in the realities of leading people through change.
