What Orhiane can help you with

Hi, welcome to my profile page!

I've spent nearly 10 years in the startup world, from sales enablement at IBM, to co-founding a deep tech startup, to now leading training and community for founders at HEC Paris and Station F, one of Europe's biggest startup ecosystems, leading a team that I took from 1 to 6, and a business unit I turned from 100K€/year to 800K€/year. I help entrepreneurs and teams sell, grow and find their path. I've navigated career switches, built things that failed before they worked, and learned to land the roles I really wanted. Happy to share what I've learned along the way.


How I Switched

What I can share as experiences/offer insights on:

  • Navigating career transitions, even the ones you don't fully choose
  • Turning skills into things that you can sell to other types of organisation
  • Recognizing when an environment stops serving you: autonomy, learning, meaning
  • Listening to your "flame", what truly drives you, and choosing environments where you're most yourself and happiest
  • Going where you know you'll learn the most, even if it means stepping back from a founder role

How I Solved

What I can share as experiences/offer insights on:

  • Launching a project that fails at first and turning it around
  • Helping entrepreneurs find their first clients and land revenue
  • Structuring an offer and running customer interviews that surface the real need
  • Entering a new market, especially France and Europe
  • Building community and events that create real connection

How I Landed

What I can share as experiences/offer insights on:

  • Landing roles through network and persistence rather than cold applications (I got my HEC role by calling the right person 15 times)
  • Activating your network to create opportunities
  • Making yourself visible and memorable
  • Daring to insist without being pushy
  • Targeting your applications with preparation that makes the difference
  • Be the most impressive person they've interviewed
