As enthusiastic Agilist, I spent a long time in the world of Agility applied to large industries and I gradually understood why this model was withering away year after year without us accepting the real causes. First as a project player, then as a trainer and finally as a coach, I'm working to ensure that modern Agile models are used less strictly and more respectfully of people.

I am a Commercial Marketing Consultant and Fractional CMO who specialises in helping businesses and companies of all sizes navigate the complexities of modern marketing.

With over 20 years of experience in corporate roles and consulting, I help companies move away from a "tactical obsession" toward an evidence-based strategy rooted in marketing science.

By diagnosing structural breaks and aligning marketing with sales, Bernard enables marketing functions to operate smoothly, thereby improving revenue operations and boosting growth.

My talk focuses on applying the foundational, timeless elements of good marketing to drive business growth. It pains me that marketing is often a black hole, and that proposed solutions miss the mark by not returning to basics and by failing to win new customers.

I've spent 15+ years inside companies where one person being the bottleneck isn't an option. AWS, PepsiCo, Veritas Technologies, Global Sales Enablement Lead at VAST Data, and I run Legacy Bloom, a consulting practice that brings that same operational discipline to founders and creators running real businesses.
I speak on sales infrastructure, decision ownership, and what it actually takes to build revenue systems that don't depend on you being in every room.
The audiences change enterprise sales teams, professionals going out on their own, founders whose operations are breaking under growth, creators who are earning serious money but still carrying everything themselves. The problem is usually the same: the revenue is there. The structure isn't.
That's what I fix.

Gracias por tomarte el tiempo para leer mi biografía, lo cual demuestra tu interés en el maravilloso mundo de las finanzas y la contabilidad de costes.

Permíteme una breve introducción: He trabajado como CFO y controller durante mucho tiempo, y soy apasionado de la técnica financiera y de costes. Disfruto analizando procesos, y esta pasión me ha llevado a impartir clases en distintas universidades, donde he aprendido tanto de mis alumnos como espero que ellos hayan aprendido algo de mí.

Una pregunta que a menudo me hacen es sobre los sectores en los que he trabajado. Para mí, el desafío no es en qué sectores he trabajado, sino cuántos me faltan por explorar y aprender.
Como apasionado de las finanzas, el control de gestión y los costes, actualmente me encuentro inmerso en el mundo de Dynamics, lo cual representa toda una aventura.
