Your background 

My name is Charles Bianchi. My career has had three phases: I started in consulting at a major firm, McKinsey, then I was an executive in retail companies such as Fnac, Pixmania and Casino, and then I decided to go out on my own, working either on strategy questions or on digital transformation. 

‍

Your latest Bloomco assignment? 

I had the good fortune of arriving as Bloomco's first consultant, on an assignment for Pernod Ricard, the group's digital transformation. I was in charge of setting up the Project Management Office, the control tower for the whole project. It started small, with our client, Pernod Ricard's CDO, and myself, and over the year it grew to 100 people. It truly laid the foundations of a massive transformation programme at a major group.

‍

What do you enjoy most about being independent?

‍Freedom: being able to balance my professional life with the other things I love, manage my life as I wish, choose my assignments and my clients, as a consultant. 

‍

What does Bloomco bring you? 

The instant fit in mindset, way of seeing things, types of assignments and clients, whether with the other consultants of the Bloomco community I have had the chance to work with on my assignments, or with the Bloomco staff.

Every time I needed to recruit a hard-to-find consultant, we immediately agreed on the description, and on the profiles put forward to me.

‍

A final word?

I am very impressed by Bloomco's growth. When there is an idea, a mindset and a good team, everything else follows, so long live Bloomco!
