HORIZON DEVELOPMENT - Key Persons

Job Titles:

• Advisor
• Managing Partner
• Managing Partner since 2005

Since 2002, Pierre has been supporting the growth of startup, small entrepreneurial and Fortune 500 innovation-centric companies that want to generate early sales without having to invest yet in a fully dedicated sales force. This was the idea when he created the Market Sniper program (www.marketsniper.eu) for early client acquisition or the Baltic Ambassador Programme for the Travel industry. In addition to consulting with private companies, Pierre has been directing many important local or environmental economic development projects in Sweden, France, the US and the Baltic States, thus acquiring a strong knowledge capacity in project funding, planning, implementation and reporting. In addition to manage Horizon Development, Pierre is a board advisor to several companies in Europe, an occasional advisor to the Estonian Development Agency (EAS), the Estonian Chamber of Commerce (KODA), the Swedish Tourism Board and a lecturer at various universities in the Nordic region. Pierre holds an MA in economic development and International trade from Boston University, an MPP from Harvard, an MBA from Babson College and a MSc in mathematical modeling from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. He is perfectly fluent and works regularly in English, French, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian and Italian. He has some practice in other languages including Estonian and Russian.
