Growing companies often hit a familiar ceiling: Agile works beautifully for individual teams but offers no framework for coordinating hundreds of people. Leaders experience cycles of excitement and frustration as they try to scale what made them fast in the first place. Fabrice has lived this challenge from the inside, building Theodo from a student project to a 700-person, €100M consultancy while maintaining startup-like agility. This is where he specializes.
Fabrice co-authored The Lean Tech Manifesto, which won the 2024 Shingo Publication Award, offering a practical framework for what the original Agile Manifesto never addressed: scaling agility across an entire organization. He co-founded Theodo in Paris and led its expansion to London, New York, and beyond.
