Stéphane RIVEZ

I am a B2B telecom and technology executive and former CEO with 20+ years of experience building, scaling, merging and exiting recurring revenue businesses. I have led complex transformations across product, IT, operations and governance, including acquisitions, full integration and the successful sale of a telecom operator with 100% customer retention post-transaction.

As an advisor or board member, I bring an execution-driven operator perspective, particularly in situations involving recurring revenue optimization, revenue quality and retention strategy, operational post-acquisition integration and ownership transition readiness in preparation for growth, consolidation or exit.

I typically support B2B tech, telecom, SaaS and infrastructure-driven companies, especially founder-led or PE-backed organizations facing scale-up complexity, consolidation, operating model misalignment or pre-exit preparation, where execution discipline, operational performance and long-term value creation are critical.

Many recurring revenue businesses don’t lose value because of strategy, but because of execution misalignment between commercial, operations and customer delivery. This is typically where I get involved.

I am most useful in moments where business complexity increases faster than operating structure, typically post-acquisition, during scale phases, or ahead of ownership transition or exit.
