The story behind ACOA

Experience meant to be shared

A lifetime of experience

ACOA Consulting was born in 2024 from the idea to share a lifetime of experience gained in critical projects, industrialisation of First Of A Kind, and help teams succeed where it truly matters: in real execution.

Operations reality

Throughout his career, Eric has been in projects succeeding, sometimes more difficult but always with high safety performances, in quality and financial budget.

Each situation brought lessons - about leadership, execution, risk management, and the importance of transparency and ability to address the weak signals.
