€30M in Gains and a Lasting Human Transformation

What Makes It Meaningful: Immediate, Human, Real Impact

“What drives me the most? Helping clients navigate crises or tackle major challenges.”

Charly thrives in demanding environments—where pressure is high, decisions matter, and results must be visible fast. It’s in these moments that his role truly comes alive. “What I value most is the fact that our impact is tangible. We intervene at the right time, in the right place—and we see things shift. And beyond performance, there’s always a deeply human dimension: listening, reassuring, upskilling.”

On the Ground from Day One

“Day one is full immersion.” No lengthy kickoff meetings. No slide decks. The field is our first diagnostic tool. “Sure, we begin with discussions with decision-makers. But then, we spend hours in the workshops, warehouses, and production lines. We listen to operators, observe flows, feel the dynamic. It’s only through direct contact that we truly grasp what’s not working—and what can be activated right away.” This mindset of active listening is central to OPEO’s method: looking beyond KPIs, catching weak signals, and understanding the unspoken culture of an organization.

A Defining Project: Real Results, Human Impact

“One mission in the U.S. marked a real turning point in my career.” Brought in to turn around the industrial performance of a key site, Charly faced a high-stakes context: delays, cost overruns, and eroding trust. Within a few months, the impact was substantial: €30 million in gains delivered. But the biggest challenge wasn’t financial. “The real work was helping managers take ownership of the tools and momentum we’d built. We focused heavily on knowledge transfer—making the gains stick by handing over the keys and building lasting reflexes. That’s what makes our work truly valuable.”

To Transform Others, Start by Transforming Yourself

“Changing how we work starts with changing how we show up.” Charly firmly believes that successful operational transformation always requires a shift in leadership posture. New KPIs or processes aren’t enough. The real work lies in reshaping how people decide, collaborate, and lead. “The real transformation lever is often the posture of leaders. It’s as much a personal journey as it is a collective one.”

Industry Must Refocus on What Truly Creates Value

“Industry needs to get back to the fundamentals of value creation.” In a landscape overwhelmed by scattered initiatives, Charly calls for a return to the essentials: core business priorities. “A lot of energy is spent on topics that don’t always generate tangible impact. Clarifying what truly matters helps focus teams—and accelerates progress where it counts.”

The Essence of OPEO’s Geste de Transformation

Through Charly’s words, we find the essence of OPEO’s transformation approach. First, the initial momentum for change: immediate, concrete actions led from the field. Tangible outcomes, measurable gains, restored effectiveness. Then, the deeper transformation process: a cultural, managerial, and systemic shift. A lasting change anchored in mindset and behaviors.

Charly perfectly embodies this dual motion: acting with urgency and discipline, while planting the seeds of sustainable transformation. By listening, empowering, and developing others, he activates the right levers for organizations to become autonomous, resilient, and high-performing.
