Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Expert in managing critical infrastructure programs, I assist organizations in their complex technological transformations (Carve-out, Cloud migrations, SD-WAN/5G deployments). With solid international experience (Imerys, Odigo, Orange), I master the entire value chain: from architecture design to production (Build to Run), strictly adhering to SLAs and security standards (e.g., PCI-DSS).

Renowned for my rigor in budget management (OPEX/CAPEX) and my transverse leadership, I transform technical challenges into operational successes, ensuring business-impact-free cutovers.
