Who am I?

Former court interpreter. Sanofi consultant. Sorbonne PhD.

There's more to it.

Portrait of Pascal Stevens

My principle

"Zero bullshit" isn't the most elegant phrase, I'll grant you that. But it's what I learned throughout my career, in the private sector and the public one.

Making things clear

After studying linguistics and translation, I moved through the roles: translator, then senior translator. I trained translators. I worked in the art world, translating philosophy: making clear what an author spent a lifetime making dense. Then I became a court interpreter.

The rigor of the courtroom

That's where I learned something simple: in front of a judge, you choose your words. Especially when they can change someone's life. I've worked with that same rigor and precision ever since.

The method of research

A lover of literature, I joined the Sorbonne. A few years later, I was hired there as a lecturer and researcher. That job taught me a method few people use in business: dig into a subject fully, sort out what matters, decide, then pull a clear message out of it.

Understanding business

Admitted to the Collège des Ingénieurs, one of France's most selective programs, I earned my MBA there. Enough to understand business at scale, not just words. That path took me onto multi-million-euro projects, at Sanofi and with SMEs and agencies alike.

Stevens & Cie

In 2025, I wrapped up my last mission, at the heart of one of the pharmaceutical industry's biggest operations. And I decided to focus on what I do best: helping leaders finally say what they're worth.

The rigor of the courtroom, the method of research, the understanding of business: that's exactly what I bring to your message today.
