Partner
Michel Gaultier is the Founding Partner of J&M LAB. He brings to our clients insight and guidance inherited from responsibilities in management consulting, board-level strategy, and general management in companies ranging from a leading private equity group to publicly-listed technology companies and start-ups, in the U.S. and in the EU. He is a trusted advisor who enjoys sharing his outlier’s perspectives and analysis on a handful of industries.
His passions are the creation of value by true entrepreneurs, and the detection of significant new long cycles in emerging industries.
He enjoys mentoring entrepreneurs and participating in judging panels of startup competitions among young students as well as among entrepreneurs-to-be.
Michel’s current focus is on the cleantech industry at large, deep technology including technology transferred from universities, and enabling technologies, so often under-valued.
I would like to express my gratitude to J&M Lab in being instrumental in gearing GLO Photonics to build a strong value proposition to strategic investors. The step-by-step approach to reach our goals, mixed with Michel's responsiveness and breadth of startup experience were invaluable in both saving us a huge amount of time but also in coaching us on both financial, operational and strategic matters.
Once again a big thank you to J&M Lab.

J&M Lab brings a fresh and unfettered perspective to an organization and its challenges. Their expertise across a multiple of industries combined with deep experience enables them to help business leaders see their problems and opportunities with a new or different lens.
Sometimes, we can be too close to our own work to see what is right in front of us. On other occasions, they help us see what we are doing that really is working and makes sense to continue. Their practical and action-oriented approach is uncommon today.

In the last few years I have had many occurrences of working with Michel as an outside assist to Oxatis. His crisp assessment of the evolution of capital markets, particularly the funding world for startups, is invaluable. He has an uncanny way to separate the wheat from the chaff.
His approach to market intelligence, guided by years of strategic analysis, allows him to unearth the likely future players when most analysts focus on the tit-for-tat tactics of existing actors. When we needed a solid part time finance executive while in the process of hiring our CFO, who else but Michel could step in and optimize our financial processes and mentor the team?
