PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH

 
Je me permets de vous contacter car votre entreprise opère dans un environnement international où la communication en anglais est stratégique — et c'est précisément mon domaine.
 
Je suis coach en anglais des affaires, avec plus de 1000 heures de formation par an auprès de cadres et dirigeants (Cap Gemini, Citibank, Kuehne+Nagel…). Ce qui me distingue : je combine l'enseignement de l'anglais avec une expertise en développement durable et en communication d'entreprise — utile notamment pour les équipes qui travaillent sur des rapports ESG ou des présentations à des interlocuteurs anglophones.
 
Je serais ravi d'échanger 15 minutes avec vous pour explorer si cela pourrait répondre à un besoin au sein de votre organisation,
actuellement apres 14h, heure de Paris.
 
Bien cordialement,
​Olivier Pessot

I am reaching out because your company operates in an international environment where English communication is strategic—and that is precisely my area of ​​expertise.

I am a Business English coach, delivering over 1,000 hours of training annually to executives and senior leaders (at companies such as Cap Gemini, Citibank, and Kuehne+Nagel). What sets me apart is that I combine English language instruction with expertise in sustainability and corporate communication—a combination particularly valuable for teams working on ESG reports or presentations for English-speaking audiences.

I would welcome a brief 15-minute conversation to explore whether this might address a need within your organization. I am available after 2:00 PM (Paris time).

Best regards,

Olivier Pessot
