Leading European Growth Expert, skilled in getting, keeping and monetizing customers.
As an independent growth strategist, Gilles has helped 200+ startups systemically maximize revenue across products, business models, markets, and growth stages.
Most founders think growth comes through channels, but long-term defensible growth happens at a more fundamental level. Gilles works with founders to build focused strategies from the high-ROI product levers and execute tactics that feedback. Outcome self-compounding growth engines that integrate scalable acquisition channels, irresistible product messaging and a high-converting funnel to profitably and predictably generate new customers at scale.
Gilles is particularly known for building moats through product-led customer acquisition. The most cost-effective way to grow for software startups isn’t through ads, content, or sales — but through the product itself. Dropbox, Paypal, Uber, Notion, Intercom, Zoom, Calendly, Figma, and Webflow scaled their markets at near-zero cost with user experiences that organically attract new users through network effects.
