Turnaround Excellence
Leadership
Turnaround work is only as strong as the people doing it. Mirabilys is led by experienced operators who stay personally involved in each mandate.
| Our Philosophy |
When a company is in transition, clients do not want a large team of juniors learning on the job
When a company is in transition, clients do not want a large team of juniors learning on the job. They want senior people who have lived through similar situations and are comfortable taking responsibility.
Mirabilys is intentionally built as a senior‑led firm. We keep teams lean, involve experienced operators from the beginning, and remain accessible throughout the mandate. When we bring in specialists, they are integrated under a single accountable lead, so you always know who is responsible for results.

Philosophy and Approach
Ayoub Challot believes that effective turnaround management combines clear analysis with practical empathy. Numbers matter, but so do the people who will have to carry the plan forward. He aims to bring calm, structure, and respect into situations that often feel chaotic. The focus is on honest diagnosis, disciplined execution, and leaving each business stronger than it was found.
