About Benjamin

With 13 years of experience in project management, in both industrial and banking/insurance environments, I offer to put my skills at your service to facilitate the management of your projects, the definition of your products, or the resulting change management.

I can therefore assist you with the following issues:
- Schedules and budgets,
- Project resource management (agile or not), offshore teams.
- Link between the project and management,
- Definition and monitoring of KPIs,
- Management of service providers and project stakeholders,
- Product definition,
- Change management plan
- Software or practice deployments
- Rationalization of your Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- Business Automation / Process Automation
- End-to-end project management.

In my previous experiences, I have both supported large companies by managing new software replacement/deployment projects for over 8000 people, from start to finish.
But also structures in deep transformation to support them in their new challenges.
I have thus helped companies in the automation of some of their businesses by ensuring the automation of low value-added tasks and by reorienting the human value of work.

I have held positions such as:
- Project manager
- Change management officer
- Project director
- Product Owner
- Lead PO
- PMO
