Description

Leaving a well-established career behind to take over an SME in a new sector: that was the choice François d’Aligny made when he took the helm at GPF. On the L’Optimiste stage, he recounts this entrepreneurial leap and demonstrates how support, mentoring and the strength of the collective can help smooth the path for a business buyer. The L’Optimiste stage is only accessible to participants with a badge granting access to the Excellence/Accélérés platform.
