Principles
/01

Plain language

No regulatory fog. If you can’t explain a control to your team, it won’t hold.

/02

Evidence first

A decision without a record is a liability. We document as we go.

/03

Independent

No products to upsell, no panel to push. Just the right call for your situation.

What customers say about us.

The European Space Agency manages or contributes to many international space programs and is permanently using very high level of technologies, controlled for export. Pierre Borie as the Trade Compliance Director in Thales Alenia Space has strongly contributed to put in place and verify the compliance of all export regulations in the programs where his company was involved with ESA.
Claes Hansen
Trade Compliance Director, ESA
Pierre Borie convinced us from the first contact with a few questions, which made it possible to diagnose the gaps and make us aware of the construction of a project which should last 18 months. Thanks to his listening and his pedagogy, session after session, we have appropriated all actions, processes and organizations in a sustainable way.
Jean Muller
Director Supply Chain, Constellium
We engaged Pierre to review our export compliance procedures. His sharp expertise and hands-on experience allowed us to clearly identify areas for improvement and implement a structured action plan. His support during our interactions with Swiss regulatory authorities was particularly valuable. Thanks to him, we have strengthened our compliance stability and gained greater confidence in facing international regulations.
Emile de Rijk
CEO, Swissto12
Pierre’s approach was particularly valuable due to his in-depth expertise in European, American, Japanese, Korean and Indian regulatory frameworks. What made the difference was his ability to go beyond legal texts to incorporate practical, geopolitical and historical dimensions that are often overlooked. A valuable expertise that we warmly recommend!
David Chegnion
Partner & Managing Director, Novaspace
Wanting to improve the mastery of export control within our teams, we called on Pierre to organize a dedicated training session, with tailor-made content adapted to our industrial specifics and illustrated by numerous real-life examples. He found the right balance between regulatory knowledge and analysis of concrete situations. We highly recommend his services.
