Amaris Consulting
Two business lines built from scratch, 17 consultants, €1.5M revenue — in two years.
Context
Amaris Consulting is a global engineering and technology consultancy. In Strasbourg, I joined a nascent team with a deceptively simple mission: open the IT and Telecom markets in the Grand-Est region.
The challenge
Starting from zero means: zero clients, zero consultants, zero track record. You have to sell missions, recruit technical profiles, deploy them at clients and retain them — all while building the credibility of a brand few people knew in the region.
What I did
I prospected and signed the first industrial and telecom-operator clients. In parallel, I sourced, recruited and managed consultants — career development, upskilling, mission oversight. I also led responses to complex public tenders through Bid Management.
In two years, I built a team of 17 simultaneously deployed consultants with a high mission-renewal rate.
Outcomes
€1.5M annual revenue built from scratch. 17 consultants recruited and managed. A €400K public tender secured over 4 years.
What I took away
Launching a business from zero teaches one thing: you have to choose where to focus energy. I learned to distinguish what generates traction from what generates noise.
Highlights
- €1.5M annual revenue built from zero in two years
- 17 consultants recruited, managed and deployed simultaneously
- €400K public tender secured over 4 years
What I took awayBuilding from zero is product management ahead of its time: prioritise, iterate, ship.
