About inesma
Stéphane Rolle
My career combines more than twenty years of project and team leadership, including seven years as a member of an executive management team.
With inesma, I put this experience to use in developing management practices and workplace communication.
Responsibility in action. First-hand experience.
Before founding inesma, I was a member of the executive management team of the Association of Swiss Electricity Companies (AES/VSE), responsible for its branch in French-speaking Switzerland and for Marketing & Sales across the country.
I have also led projects under significant constraints, including the merger of two private banks.
My experience spans operational leadership and project management, including matrix organisations, leadership at a distance and intercultural environments, from start-ups to multinational companies.
With inesma, I have drawn on this experience to deliver training in management, project management and communication, as well as teaching methodology at the School of Engineering in Fribourg.
My qualifications include a Swiss university licentiate in economics, a federal professional qualification as an adult educator and a Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in communication and coaching. To put my convictions to the test and enrich my practice, I also completed the High Performance Leadership (HPL) programme at IMD.
I am certified as an NLP Practitioner and an Insights Discovery Practitioner.
“Demanding, but humane.”
One day, someone called me about a possible assignment. I asked what had prompted them to contact me. They passed on a recommendation from someone I had never met: “He’s demanding, but humane.”
I was pleased to hear that. I recognise myself in those words, with one qualification: I don’t see care and high standards as opposites.
Respecting someone does not mean I have to agree with their reasoning. Questioning it never gives me the right to belittle them.
Care shapes the way I uphold those standards: taking the person, their circumstances and the progress we are aiming for into account, without avoiding difficult questions.
Convictions that leave room for dialogue
I believe in the value of what I bring. By testing my proposals against your situation and enriching them with your experience, we turn them into responses suited to your needs.
Curiosity goes both ways: you discover how I think, while I discover your experience and what matters to you. The pleasure of building something together is also part of that relationship.
Let’s talk about your situation.
An initial phone call to get to know each other and discuss your situation and what you would like to change.
