ABOUT NICOLAS
A journey between worlds that rarely meet
More than two decades in the international financial world at BNP Paribas, in impact investment and entrepreneurship at LGT Venture Philanthropy and Connovo, and as a coach and facilitator with a specialized practice in supporting those facing the most complex challenges of growth and transformation.
That combination—having experienced the corporate world from the inside and having built companies from scratch—allowed me to discover something that is now central to my work: an organization's most important challenges are rarely exclusively strategic or technical. They have to do with the people who make the decisions, the relationships they build, and the system's capacity to sustain the complexity it is generating.
Therefore, a distinctive dimension of my work involves looking beyond the title and radically exploring the person behind the leader: their patterns, relationships, fears, biases, ambitions, and the life they are building while building their company.
THREE KEY CONVICTIONS
Systemic well-being is the foundation of high performance and sustained impact
Well-being is not a peripheral benefit or a reward after success. It is part of the infrastructure that enables sustained performance, critical decision-making, and long-term impact.
Change within is necessary to generate change without.
It's impossible to believe we can profoundly transform an organization and take it to the next level without its leaders undergoing a radical transformation. Personal and leadership evolution is key to generating significant external change.
Evolving involves using all levels of intelligence: cognitive, emotional, relational, and vibrational.
Many of us grew up with the idea that our brains needed peak performance to solve any challenge. Now we know and experience every day that while cognitive intelligence is necessary for logical thinking, it's not enough. We need to develop other levels of intelligence that give us access to non-linear, radically human information: emotional intelligence (how to use emotions to achieve goals), relational intelligence (how to build and maintain effective relationships that generate authenticity, accountability, and superior results in complex environments), and vibrational intelligence* (how to tune into different levels of vibration and information, discern between them, and act accordingly).
CUSTOM-MADE SPACES
I don't design generic "programs".
I design radical introspection experiences based on what you truly need.

BEHIND THE SCENES
I am French, living in Mexico for 14 years, married to Fer and father of Inès, Agathe and Gaëlle.
I graduated from Emlyon Business School, was an investment banker in London and Paris, then an entrepreneur with an impact venture studio in Mexico (Connovo).
Now I work with leaders who want to build differently to achieve their highest vision. I have provided over 1,500 hours of support to founders, CEOs, and their teams.
I love to "jogar" capoeira, play flamenco guitar and be in nature, exploring it by walking, diving or sailing.
TESTIMONIALS
Nico's coaching has helped me immensely, not only as a person, but also as a leader and partner at 1200vc. It has allowed me to see my strengths and areas for improvement with much greater clarity and honesty, always pushing me to be a better version of myself. His work has genuinely impacted how I lead, how I communicate, how I handle pressure, and even how I develop as a person outside of work.
