About Bénédicte

Experienced director, I intervene in transitional management in complex contexts requiring quick decision-making, strong execution capacity, and maintaining a long-term trajectory.

I intervene in hierarchical management (DG/DGA, COO, Business Unit) or in transverse steering with General Managements and CODIR, particularly when organizations need to regain clarity, secure their commitments, or navigate through tense phases.

Accustomed to demanding environments, I bridge strategy, operations, and human resources to make trajectories executable in reality. I structure priorities, make clear-headed decisions, and align teams without rigidifying the system.

Main expertise (SSI / IT / Delivery):
- Operations management and results commitments
- Performance monitoring (KPI, margins, utilization rate, bench time)
- IT Delivery: Development, Business Analysis, fixed-price, maintenance, support, outsourcing
- Securing strategic clients, crisis management, delivery recovery
- Structuring organizations in growth or under pressure
- Tenders, bids, scoping, and managing complex responses
- Coordination of business/delivery/support, managerial alignment

I operate in the private and public sectors, with large accounts, mid-sized companies, and B2B startups, in multi-stakeholder environments.

My positioning: secure commitments, restore operational clarity, and produce sustainable results, even under constraints.
