You’re building the technology.
Who’s helping you build what comes next?

Your priorities keep expanding. Time to step back, anticipate organisational needs and prepare for growth is harder to find.

I work alongside CEOs and their teams to clarify the offer, focus the growth plan and align the stakeholders who make it happen — customers, employees, partners and investors.

Not advice from the sidelines. An action-oriented partner for your strategic transitions.

    An initial exchange over the course of a morning to understand your business, your priorities and the transition ahead.

Portrait d’Olivier Chapel Your executive partner

Olivier Chapel

Co-pilot. Venture operator.
Hands-on executive partner.

Connect on LinkedIn

More than 25 years of international experience in growth companies — from strategy and fundraising consulting at EY, to venture capital at Sofinnova Partners, to operational and executive roles in four scale-ups and start-ups.

I bring experiences I’ve lived through, not just situations I’ve observed. My role is to be a constructive, challenging mirror for deeptech CEOs — and a partner who helps move the business forward.

Depending on the mission, NITEROI also draws on scientific, technical, product and market specialists.

Embedded when needed

Executive support, venture operations or interim management, tailored to the transition.

Built for a transition

A defined mission with an agreed duration — not a permanent layer in your organisation.

Selected experience

Managed a high-stakes key account project with India’s second-largest group.

Developed R&D and product partnerships with manufacturers, and built B2B key account management capabilities.

Supported founder governance transitions, deeptech pre-investment due diligence and board-level work in France and the USA.
