About Alain

Expert in risk management, financial and regulatory reporting, middle office, information systems, and management consulting. I played a central role in defining several strategic financial initiatives within the Council of Europe Development Bank. I now offer this expertise to organizations looking to strengthen their operational efficiency or successfully complete complex projects, particularly within VSEs, SMEs, or organizations undergoing transformation, regardless of their sector or digital maturity.
I prefer a flexible freelance approach, with a strong ability to adapt to client needs and contexts.
