Maxime Perriard

Every system drifts toward entropy. I move through its layers, find the singularity where order breaks, and turn it into insight you can run.

About Maxime

I am a business administration and finance graduate of the University of St. Gallen. While I was preparing to enter the usual graduate path of internships and entry-level jobs, I did my research and ultimately decided that an entrepreneurial path would bring more experience and lead me to my objectives faster.

I believe in unique paths that, in spite of their inherent difficulties, lead us to our very own destination if we put in the work. Building and engineering ventures for my clients and myself is a passion of mine, what the Japanese call monozukuri (ものづくり), the craft of making things well. I like to think of myself as a chameleon, as adapting to my environment has become second nature. I am building for the long term with short-term iteration loops.

This brings me back to the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest story we have. A king crosses the world to find a way not to die, and fails. He comes home with nothing, climbs the walls of Uruk, and sees the city he built. That is his answer: a life lasts through what it builds. I have travelled to 40 countries, and the lesson holds in every one of them. I do not try to outlive the work; I try to build work that outlives me and empowers people’s dreams ✨, starting with the foundations nobody sees.

From silosto businessintelligence

  • A 2‑week‑old website receives a 6‑figure contract.
  • Business intelligence work helps a startup close a CHF 1.5 million fundraising round.
  • “Outstanding work, as though you have been working for us for years. Thank you very much. I couldn’t imagine that we will achieve such a level of professionalism.”
  • From 0 to 10 qualified leads in 17 days.

I read a business in four dimensions: data, people, process and time. Where they meet, there is a singularity. That is where I build.

Talk to me
01

Data

I start where the evidence is: the CRM, the CMS, the business intelligence tools and the files in Finder. I clean the silos, then connect them, so the insight can finally be extracted.

  • Data audits
  • Pipelines
  • AI & Tech weekly
  • Research on real data
02

People

I sit with the people who live the problem and map the work as it really runs, not as the org chart says. The system has to fit their hands, their language and their tools, not the other way around. The goal is a seamless, efficient integration.

  • Process mapping with the team
  • Work as it really runs
  • FR / DE / EN
  • Adoption over demos
03

Process

Processes are often set in stone. I infuse them with automations and agents, which brings back agility and frees hours of work for what actually moves the business.

  • Agentic workflows
  • Automations in production
  • CRM & email
  • Astro + Cloudflare
04

Time

A system has to hold against entropy. I build for the long horizon, researching every method, conventional or not, that lets a system improve itself over time.

  • Long horizon
  • Alpha validation
  • Physics × finance
  • 2026 → 2042

What I am engineering

Zabardast

/zə·bər·dəst/adj. · Urdu & Hindi, from Persianزبردست · ज़बरदस्त

  1. Superb, tremendous.
  2. Strong, powerful.

Literally “the upper hand”: zabar, above, and dast, hand.

Each venture is a live test of the same method: sit with the problem, engineer its solution, and iterate in public. Some are mine, some I build with family and partners.

Four channels, one voice each: the explainer, the operator, the analyst and the forecaster. Same person, same thesis, different distance from the work.
