CEO at Eskimoz | Building the Future of Digital Marketing

My friends and family will tell you that when they call me, I never hang up until I've delivered my best advices.

Perhaps this comes from my 10+ years in the strategy consulting industry, but this habit also points to the qualities that have made me a reliable partner.

I am driven to find the best possible outcome for my clients, partners and collaborators, and my ability to analyze the big picture allows me to make decisions that lead to optimal results. I am able to leverage my consulting and investment experience to develop business models, conduct due diligence, and build strategic plans that create long term value. And I strive to build productive teams and to empower others in their strengths. I enjoy helping individuals pursue their potential, and aim to inspire growth through positivity and collaboration.

My motivation lies in striving toward the next goal on the horizon, and I look forward to the next opportunity to help businesses reach their potential.

Experienced Founder. Skilled in operations management, internal process modeling, international strategy, strategic ventures, M&A. Tech enthousiast, graduate of EDHEC.

LinkedIn, nouvel eldorado pour la visibilité sur les IA ? 😱

C’est officiel : LinkedIn est devenue la deuxième source la plus citée par les IA génératives, juste derrière Reddit.

Ce n’est pas un hasard. Selon une récente étude, les articles publiés sur LinkedIn Pulse se retrouvent systématiquement mis en avant dans les réponses des IA - et ce n’est pas sans raison.

La structure même de LinkedIn change la donne : chaque contenu est porté par un profil identifiable, avec un historique professionnel clair et vérifiable.

Résultat : une vraie crédibilité perçue... que les robots semblent avoir compris avant tout le monde !

Concrètement, ça veut dire quoi pour les marques et les experts ? 

❄️ Publier des analyses détaillées, sourcer ses propos, soigner son profil - tout ceci devient stratégique pour exister aux yeux... des IA.

❄️ LinkedIn s’impose comme LE nouveau terrain de jeu de l’influence digitale, bien au-delà du simple networking.

La question à se poser : est-ce qu’on va assister à une course à l’expertise Linkedin, où chaque post devient une arme de visibilité algorithmique ?

Today, it’s my 9 years anniversary in Singapore.

I never planned this. 👇 


December 2016, I told my parents: “1 or 2 years. Max.”

Classic lie.

Why I stayed?

Because Singapore quietly checks every box.

• Career acceleration 
• Global friendships 
• Insanely convenient 
• Asia at your doorstep 
• Built for business 
• Green, clean, structured 
• Sport is a lifestyle, not a slogan 
• Big city benefits, without the problem of a big city

You don’t fight the city. The city works with you.

I just spent a month in Europe (Brittany + Madrid).

Best moment? Landing at Changi.

That feeling of: “I’m home” is just magic

My Singapore timeline:

2017 (Jan) — Packed my life from France 
2017 (Jan–Nov) — Rocket Internet 
2017 (Nov) — Accelerasia 
2020 (Jan) — Left Accelerasia 
2020 (Feb–Apr) — EF 
2020 (May) — Started an outbound agency with Youssef 
2020 (Jun) — Met my wife 
2023 (Mar) — Started Scalelist 
2023 (May) — Got married 
2024 (Aug) — transition from Agency to SaaS
2025 (Sept) — Sold The Scalelab 
2026 (Jan) — 100% focused on Scalelist

On paper: 9 years.

In reality? Feels like a lifetime of learnings, failures, wins, friendships, and reinventions.

Deeply grateful to still be here. Genuinely excited for what’s next on this tiny island.

Sometimes you don’t choose a place. The place chooses you.

PS: The picture was taken in Pulau Ubin (small island facing Singapore) in Jan 2017.

Help B2B Sales teams find the best email addresses and mobile numbers worldwide.

Since 2015, I’ve opened every cold call with the same line.
(And yes — it still works in 2026.) 👇 

Script:

- Prospect: “Allo?”
- Me: “John?” (or whatever your prospect’s first name is)
- Prospect: “Yes.”
- Me: “This is Arnaud from Scalelist, how are you doing?”

That’s it. Simple. Human. Natural.

From there, the replies are almost always one of these:

- “Arnaud from where?”
- “Good, and you?”
- “What is this regarding?”
- “Scale—what?”
- “Is this a cold call?”

And so on…

The secret? Repetition. You don’t get better at handling these without hearing them again and again. (I’ll break that down in another post.)

But if you want to boost your results right now:

1- Get mobile numbers from Scalelist.
2- Call on WhatsApp. People pick up more often there.
3- Smile. (Yes, they hear it in your voice.)
4- Be confident.
5- If they hang up, keep smiling. Then dial again.

Cold calling isn’t dead.

It just requires consistency, confidence, and the right opener.

PS: Show you an example of how I use that script into the video below 👇

Last night at 10:27 PM. Toothbrush in mouth.
A roofing company sales leader in Florida just bought a 50k credits Scalelist plan ($549/month) 👇 

I immediately:

- Stopped brushing my teeth
- Emailed the client

Priorities.

Why?

Because I want to understand:

- what pushed him to subscribe
- what they need beyond valid emails & mobile numbers
- how their sales + marketing teams are structured
- what their 2026 (and beyond) plan looks like
- why a company outside our top 10 industries picked one of our biggest plans

During the Christmas break, I reflected on 2025.

And I realised something simple.

What gives me the most energy isn’t dashboards or features:

It’s talking to people.

Learning how Scalelist is actually used.

- What clients love.
- What frustrates them.
- What we should do differently.
- That’s the part of the job I enjoy the most.

Very excited for 2026.

PS: If you need really good emails and mobile numbers to prospect, you know where to find Scalelist.

I’m not into "productivity hacks".

But this simple one changed how I'm starting working in 2026 👇 


Use a chess clock when I work.

- One side = real, focused work
- The other = everything else (meetings, context switching, scrolling, “being busy”)

At the end of the day, I see the truth.

Did I actually get 4 hours of deep work or not?

- It’s simple.
- It’s brutal.

I love it.

I don’t even need a physical chess clock. The price of a physical one starts at 19 USD on Amazon. 

I looked for a digital one:

1- Open the App Store
2- Search “chess clock”
3- Pick any app

That’s it.

If you already do this — or plan to try it — like the post.

Ps: each clock on both side starts at 4:00 hours. My objective is to reach 0:00 on the green side every day and be super honest about it.
