Christophe Fombonne
@christophefombonne
I build pricing strategy, CPQ, and quote-to-bill operations that improve B2B revenue performance.
What I'm looking for
I support mid-sized and large B2B organizations through FMBN Pricing Advisory, building pragmatic pricing foundations from strategy through operations. I’m available for permanent, interim, and project-based roles in Switzerland or remotely.
At SITA, I managed global pricing for a $300M Network portfolio and $120M Messaging portfolio, negotiated a $180M annual provider price book, and led pricing teams across Paris and London. I also designed and launched pricing for the SDWAN product group and managed pricing strategy and operations for $420M in annual revenue.
I bring 25+ years of international pricing leadership across pricing strategy, pricing operations, contribution-margin improvement, revenue forecasting, and Quote-to-Bill design. I implemented Oracle CPQ, built pricing-performance analytics, and enable Sales and Product teams with structured, data-driven pricing support.
