About Christophe Belloncle
I am an international entrepreneur and strategic advisor with hands-on experience in both corporate leadership roles and entrepreneurial ventures, building, scaling and restructuring scalable business models across Europe, the United States, Mexico and LATAM.
Over the past years, I have worked at the intersection of strategy, operations, go-to-market and execution, supporting founders, investors and leadership teams facing growth, complexity or transition.
My background combines:
- Founder and CEO experience
- Scale-up and early-stage advisory
- International expansion and cross-border operations
- Licensing, franchising and partnership-driven growth models
- Fundraising strategy and investor readiness
I don’t operate as a traditional consultant. I work as a pragmatic advisor and operator, focused on decisions that move the business forward — fast, structured and measurable.
