Jean-Marc, JM, JMC, Kerdy, or whatever you may know him by has had quite the diverse career, which is what led to the launch of StepChange.

He started working for large public companies, both of them global retailers. This experience in corporate finance and special projects led to creating forecasting and board and investor relations processes, and then to corporate and merchandise planning along with new concept launch and international expansion work. Along with an ability to translate and explain a P&L, Balance Sheet or KPI dashboard to any audience, he acquired a deep knowledge of Excel and Powerpoint, which to this day does not impress his wife despite her occasional request to tap this knowledge.

When he realized the sketch comedy career on the side was not going to pay the bills (true story), he began to focus more on launching concepts, moving on to run a software development firm with a penchant for spinning off companies. He has been focused on starting and growing concepts with firms of all sizes the last several years, offering his operations experience and ability to quickly understand issues and pivot to solutions that scale.

Outside of work, JM can be found chasing around his two kids along with his wife, DIY-ing something at home or online or helping coach at the local soccer club.
