Built on experience. Driven by performance.
Growth by MB is an independent consulting practice founded by Megane Balliet. It was born from a simple observation made over thirteen years in the field: businesses perform best when their people are well led, well trained and supported by clear operations.
Our story
Growth by MB grew out of years spent on the shop floor, leading teams and managing operations for premium fashion and lifestyle brands. Time and again, the same pattern appeared: when management is strong and routines are clear, teams are more engaged, customers are better served and results follow.
Today, Growth by MB brings that practical perspective to growing businesses, premium brands and multi-location companies — in the United States, France and internationally.
Our mission
To help businesses strengthen their management practices, develop their people and improve operational performance to support sustainable business growth.
Our philosophy
People, management and performance are inseparable. Effective leadership creates engaged teams; engaged teams deliver consistent operations; consistent operations build lasting results.

Megane Balliet
Founder & Consultant
Megane brings 13 years of hands-on professional experience. Her journey began on the retail floor and progressively developed through frontline responsibilities, team management, store leadership, multi-store management, regional responsibilities and international business environments.
She has experienced business operations from the ground up — and that path shapes everything about how Growth by MB works: practical, experienced, collaborative and implementation-focused.
She understands
- What frontline employees experience every day
- What store managers need to manage their teams effectively
- What regional managers and Area Managers must oversee
- What business owners and senior management expect from their operations
- How operational decisions affect employees, customers and business performance
Strategy connected to the reality on the ground.
Many consulting approaches are built primarily around analysis, strategy and recommendations. Growth by MB brings an additional perspective: a deep understanding of how businesses actually operate on the ground. Having progressed through the different levels of retail and management, Megane understands both operational realities and management expectations — which allows her to connect strategic objectives with practical implementation.
“Having worked my way up from frontline retail to multi-store management and regional responsibilities, I understand business performance from both sides: the reality on the ground and the expectations of leadership.”
