Independent & Unbiased
I don't take referral fees, vendor commissions, or kickbacks from any provider. My recommendations are based on what's right for your business — not what pays me. That independence is the whole point.
About
Quentin Dupard.
Independent consultant for B2B SaaS go-to-market strategy and global hiring advisory. I built my craft inside fast-scaling international operations — and now bring that operational depth to founders, leaders, and investors who need clarity, not theory.
The Story
I've spent the last five years inside the messy reality of global operations — and learned that most "best practices" don't survive contact with a different country.
My career has lived at the intersection of product, sales, and international operations. I've launched go-to-market motions in markets where the rulebook didn't exist, audited employment providers that promised one thing and delivered another, and worked alongside founders trying to figure out whether to hire in country A, set up an entity in country B, or use a vendor in country C.
Along the way, I audited 150+ Employer of Record and global payroll providers across all major regions — pricing models, entity structures, compliance depth, product architecture, margin economics, GTM maturity. That work became the foundation of an independent advisory platform I founded in the global employment space, where I built proprietary frameworks for provider evaluation and market intelligence.
I now run an independent consulting practice serving SaaS companies, HR tech platforms, and investors who need an operator's perspective rather than a generic strategy deck. Every engagement is scoped specifically. Every output is something your team owns. No retainers without value, no scope drift without your approval.

How I Work
Three principles I won't compromise on.
Operator, not Theorist
I've actually run global GTM motions and managed international hiring at scale. Strategies I propose have to survive Monday morning execution — not just look good in a board deck.
Clean Engagements
No retainer traps. No scope drift. No artificial dependency. Every engagement ends with documented outputs your team owns independently — you leave with the work, not just the consultant.
Frequently Asked
Common questions.
Where are you based, and which time zones do you work in?
I operate from a US legal entity but work with clients globally. I flex across time zones — most of my engagements involve teams in multiple regions, so synchronous calls happen across EMEA, Americas, and APAC depending on the client.
What types of companies do you typically work with?
B2B SaaS companies (often Series A through C), HR tech platforms, fast-scaling teams hiring across borders, and investors evaluating EOR / global payroll / HR tech targets. The common thread is operational complexity that benefits from someone who's been inside it before.
How are engagements structured and priced?
Three formats: hourly, daily, or project-based. Discovery calls are free. After that, you get a transparent statement of work with fixed milestones and rates. No retainers, no surprises, no scope drift without your sign-off.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes — almost every engagement involves one, especially the due diligence work. Confidential engagements are the default. Happy to use yours or provide a standard mutual NDA.
Do you take referral fees from vendors?
No. Ever. My recommendations on EOR providers, payroll vendors, or any third-party tool are based purely on fit. Independence is the foundation of the practice.
