Personne n'y croyait : il sauve sa boîte en redressement à 26 ans
In this French‑language interview, a 26‑year‑old entrepreneur recounts how he rescued a company that had been in bankruptcy for eight months. His father warned him against taking the job, doubting his management and construction knowledge. Upon arrival he found demoralised staff, a toxic atmosphere, and even employees playing football on the premises. Workers were hostile, refusing greetings and openly doubting his ability to improve the situation. Some even mocked him by placing jokes on his desk. The firm’s clients were exploiting the restructuring to withhold payments. A critical challenge was the impending retirement of the company’s star salesperson, who generated half of the revenue; the entrepreneur feared the business would collapse when that salesperson left. Despite these obstacles, he describes confronting his father, asserting that he had saved a company no one believed could be saved, and outlines the turning point that began the successful turnaround.
