Hi, I'm Maxence

Nice to meet you. I'm a full-cycle B2B Account Executive selling CRM & marketing solutions at La Poste Group — and shipping my own micro-SaaS for sales teams on the side.

01

Four years between digital marketing and complex B2B sales. At La Poste Group, I learned to run full sales cycles, read business stakes fast, and earn trust over time.

What I love is the mix of strategy, psychology and execution — finding the angle, then making things move.

Today, I'm drawn to SaaS and product-driven environments, alongside ambitious teams.

8 months · 6 countries

A long road through Southeast Asia

Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, Singapore. A long-format trip taken on purpose — to look at the world from somewhere else and come back with sharper instincts.

I spend my off-hours building small things, training, and pointing a camera at people and places. The same loop, in three different forms.
