Executive Strategic Consulting: Empowering Leaders and Executive Committees to Achieve Sustainable High Performance
You are leading a transformation initiative in an increasingly demanding environment. Large consulting firms provide methods and resources—but rarely the personal touch, responsiveness, and direct human impact required during the most critical decision-making moments.
Marc Amerigo offers a rare kind of strategic support for executives: that of an engineer-entrepreneur who has led complex projects in the most demanding sectors, driven world records in extreme sports, formalized seven operational pillars of high performance, and taught leadership in the Executive Master’s program at École Polytechnique.
This is not consulting. It is a hands-on partnership, built over time, dedicated to your vision and your teams.
What this support provides—and what it is not
A direct relationship of trust at the heart of senior management
Major consulting firms offer proven methodologies and teams. That is not what Marc Amerigo offers.
What he brings:
• A direct relationship of trust at the heart of senior management and the Executive Committee — unfiltered, with no middlemen
• An immediate human impact on cohesion and collective performance throughout the entire organizational hierarchy
• Agility and responsiveness — weekly exchanges, in person or remotely as needed
• A cross-functional perspective shaped by 30 years of complex industrial projects and world records in extreme environments — settings where the pressure is real and the consequences are tangible
The 7 Pillars as Compasses for Leadership Action
The objectives of your mission are achieved by drawing on 7 fundamental pillars—the same ones that underpin the UltraPerformance philosophy and the teachings of the Leadership track in École Polytechnique’s Executive Master’s program:
- Explorer Mindset — cultivating curiosity, boldness, and the ability to question the obvious
- Professional Intimacy — building a deep and authentic relationship of trust within leadership teams
- Humility & Knowledge Sharing — recognizing one’s limits, valuing expertise, and generously sharing knowledge
- Creativity & Innovation — transforming constraints into opportunities and challenges into competitive advantages
- Continuous Commitment — embodying one’s convictions in action, even under pressure
- Perfect Fluidity — achieving that state of peak performance where the organization moves forward with coherence, energy, and purpose
- UltraPerformance Philosophy (founding pillar) — balancing the technical and human dimensions to achieve operational excellence

What sets this Masterclass apart:
Most leadership training programs teach models. This Masterclass provides practical experience and concrete methods.
It is based on the “Leadership” course that Marc Amerigo teaches in the École Polytechnique’s International Executive Master’s program (2024–2026 cohorts)—one of France’s most selective programs for working senior executives. But it is not academic.
It starts with the reality of your challenges, goes through the 7 pillars of UltraPerformance, and produces—in 2 to 3 hours—a roadmap that each participant can apply the very next day.

Who is this executive coaching intended for, and in what contexts?
This executive strategic support resonates particularly strongly with organizations facing:
• Profound strategic transformations — mergers, reorganizations, business model shifts
• Structural VUCA environments (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) — aerospace, nuclear, space, energy, naval, defense
• Cohesion challenges within the Executive Committee or between leaders and teams

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
How is this support different from that of a traditional consulting firm?
Marc Amerigo doesn’t bring a team or a set methodology. He brings a direct, personal, and lasting relationship with the CEO and their executive committee. His credibility comes from real-world experience: 30 years of critical industrial projects, 9 world records, 14 patents, and lectures at the Executive Master’s program at Polytechnique. He doesn’t dictate—he co-creates, on a weekly basis, with the responsiveness that large firms cannot offer.
Are optional services (conferences, workshops, masterclasses) included in the support package?
No. The support package covers regular one-on-one meetings and participation in Executive Committee discussions. Engagements with employees (lectures, workshops, masterclasses, one-day seminars) are subject to separate packages, which are flexible based on needs and come with no minimum volume commitment. This is a complementary service model, activated according to current strategic priorities.
What is the minimum commitment period?
Executive strategic support is offered over a rolling 12-month period, with a 3-month launch phase at a preferential rate. This duration is the minimum required to build a deep relationship of trust and measure a real impact on team cohesion and collective performance. Shorter formats may be considered for specific one-off assignments—to be discussed depending on the context.
