About Antoine

Experienced IT Consultant, I have been working for several years within the IT departments of large groups to support the implementation and deployment of solutions in complex, international, and multicultural environments.

I help bridge the gap between business and technical teams to ensure project success, while respecting deadlines, budgets, and performance objectives.

I master the entire project lifecycle: functional analysis, writing of technical and functional specifications, development coordination, planning and execution of tests (QA, UAT), cut-over management, and change management through dedicated training sessions.

Accustomed to collaborating with multidisciplinary teams (business, IT, support, development), I establish clear governance and regular reporting among all stakeholders.
I am also familiar with Agile environments and project management tools such as JIRA, Confluence, or ServiceNow, allowing me to ensure rigorous management and fluid communication.

Although not originally from a technical background, I have acquired a solid understanding of system architectures, data flows, and application constraints, which enables me to communicate effectively with development teams and anticipate operational impacts.

Proactive, structured, and results-oriented, I know how to combine business challenges and technical requirements to propose pragmatic and sustainable solutions. My approach is based on collaboration, transparency, and the pursuit of added value for the client.

Fluent in English, I work easily in international and multicultural contexts. I adapt quickly to varied organizational and technological environments, with a strong ability to unite around common goals.
