Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Need a Product profile capable of translating your business vision while challenging your technical constraints?

Graduated from Centrale and HEC, I spent 7 years building Dualsun's digital business (French leader in residential solar) as CPO. I created and managed a multidisciplinary team of 10 people, handling the complete cycle: from the code of the first MVP to recruiting a multidisciplinary team and organizing the scale.

Today, I work as a freelance CPO for founders and product teams to help them solve the pain points of their product approach: full roadmap with unclear prioritization, difficult delivery or disconnected from its impact, scaling the team and the product.

My intervention approach:

- Discovery and understanding of the overall vision: The number 1 qualities of a good PM for me are listening, curiosity, and empathy. I don't apply a pre-established scheme or method but adapt my intervention to your needs. Using frameworks like SWO and user research, I reformulate the problem, solution, execution, and its risks with you.

- Steering strategy and roadmap: I align this vision with your business objectives and current capabilities on a clear product trajectory. The goal is to build together a roadmap for the coming months that is clear, realistic, shared by the teams, and monitored by the right indicators.

- Organization & Product Ops: I analyze your discovery/delivery tools and processes to identify friction points, clarify roles and responsibilities, synchronize product and dev, and gain velocity.

- Follow-up and transmission: I support the skill development of your teams and assist you in potential recruitments.
