About
I built and led IT for two high-growth companies. Today, I help SMEs make the right IT decisions — without hiring full-time.
My journey
I co-founded Net4all in 2000, while studying at EPFL. What started as a student project became a reference hosting provider in Switzerland — from 2 to 15 people, revenue ×4, successful exit in 2013.
Then I joined a digital marketing scale-up as CIO. In 5 years: from 20 to 300 people. AWS cloud infrastructure built from scratch. Custom CRM developed in-house. Revenue exceeding €70M. PCI DSS certification obtained on the first try.
Today, I put this experience at the service of SMEs who want to professionalize their IT without hiring a full-time CIO.
"My goal: that you no longer need me."
"Olivier structured our IT while supporting 15× growth. Solid infrastructure, autonomous teams, zero inherited technical debt."

Work Philosophy
Hands-on but not indispensable
I show, I train, I empower. At the end of the engagement, you know exactly what to do — and why.
What works, not what's trendy
No silver bullets. I recommend what works for your context, your budget, your teams.
Direct communication
We talk about real problems, not symptoms. No politics, straight talk.
Responsiveness
One email, one decision. No useless meetings, short loops.
