When a 1999 CEO reached out to level up thanks to AMOA(French Project Management)

🎬 The story begins in Paris.

A few months ago, I received a message from Pierre Ballif.

CEO and founder of Amplitude360, a Paris-based web agency that has been around since 1999. He and his team mainly work with SMEs and very small businesses on digital projects.

But Pierre had a bigger ambition:

"I want to move upmarket. Handle more complex projects β€” e-commerce, SaaS, custom applications. But I feel like I'm missing a real AMOA method."

He wasn't looking for a developer. He was looking for someone to teach him a mindset, a methodology, a professional rigour.


🧠 Why me?

Because I'm not just a senior full stack developer.

I'm also an AMOA practitioner and trainer β€” in the field, on real client missions.

Pierre didn't need another theoretical course. He needed someone who lives AMOA every day.


πŸ“… What we built together

  • Format: 25 hours of one-on-one, private training
  • Schedule: flexible, based on his availability (as a business owner)
  • Start date: November 25, 2025
  • End date: January 2026

Each session included:

βœ… Real conversation, not a monologue

βœ… Practical cases from his own projects

βœ… Open questions, precise answers

βœ… Plenty of laughs β€” because learning should be enjoyable

Pierre asked questions. Lots of them. Sometimes the same question from different angles.

I never dodged. I explained, rephrased, illustrated.


πŸ’¬ His testimonial (quoting him directly):

"I've been taking online courses for two years. But this is the only one β€” the first one β€” that I found exciting from start to finish.

I learned a lot, and all my questions were answered… even the ones I hadn't asked yet.

Thank you so much. I won't hesitate to come back to you for more training."

β€” Pierre Ballif, founder and CEO of Amplitude360


πŸš€ And today?

Pierre has launched. He now offers a true AMOA service to his clients.

He's moving upmarket. Handling more complex projects. With method and confidence.

I learned too. Being a trainer means challenging yourself every session. Adapting. Finding three different ways to explain the same idea.


🎯 What I offer

I'm not a school. I'm a practitioner who trains professionals:

βœ… Business owners (like Pierre)

βœ… Product managers

βœ… Developers who want to become AMOAs

βœ… Anyone who needs to frame digital projects

Format: 1-on-1, custom-made, based on your schedule

Start: As soon as we define your goals
