About
I worked at Dynamo for almost 12 years, mainly in charge of the FF&E/OS&E team. During this period, the team, and I, participate in the procurement of more than 46M€ representing more than 2000 hotel rooms and public spaces mainly in France. At that time, we work on projects such as Hoxton Paris, MOB, Schweizerhof Zermatt, Intercontinental Paris le Grand, SO/Paris, Kimpton, Cotton House at Mustique Island, etc.
As time and projects go by, I soon realize that, thoughtout FF&E consultant tender package, their role is often misunderstood. Moreover, in its absence, many FF&E/OS&E development aspects, being considered too lightly, lead to a waste of energy, money, and time.
In March 2024, together with my partner Gaëtan Lagarde, we launch Figurz, an online free tool to estimate hotel FF&E/OS&E budget.
