Former researcher in cognitive neuroscience, four-time tech entrepreneur (including one exit to Criteo), thirteen years as a board member in a 350-person group. I founded Patarin Co in 2022, following a coaching certificate at INSEAD.
My starting point is an observation: most leaders I work with are high performers, but they draw their power from a system under permanent tension, not a regenerated one. That is not sustainable over time. And the cost of this mode of functioning is rarely named clearly.
What structures Patarin Co's approach is a refusal to treat inner work and political work separately. How you function internally, and how you exercise your power in the world: these are two faces of the same subject. One without the other, you are working alongside the real problem.

Not for everyone.
For some.
Executives and founders in technology environments. Sharp, fast, demanding. Who need accompaniment that can speak strategy, power and transformation without condescension.
ADHD, ASD or highly heterogeneous cognitive profiles. Subjects whose functioning steps outside standard scripts and whose variation is a resource to convert.
Already exposed, already responsible, already complex. Often already coached. Who need a higher level of depth, rigour and precision.
Professionals who accompany others and who want to be accompanied themselves. Working on their own relationship to power, intensity and authority — from inside the practitioner role.
If you are navigating a situation where your usual intensity is no longer enough, or if you are looking for accompaniment of unusual precision, let's talk.
