Back to original languageAbout Bruno
Transitional CIO for SMEs and Mid-caps (100 to 800 employees) — I combine strategic big-picture thinking with on-the-ground execution to generate measurable gains: clarifying objectives, simplifying processes and tools, and objectively measuring results.
🎯 WHAT I BRING TO MISSIONS
- Taking charge of an IT department in difficulty or without leadership (departure, crisis, post-cyberattack)
- Part-time CIO for SMEs that don't have the size for a full-time CIO
- Steering major ERP / CRM / HRIS programs
- Compliance (ISO 27001, NIS2) and IT security
- Aligning the Executive Committee around a clear and quantified IT roadmap
📊 RECENT RESULTS
- ROTHELEC (industry, 170 employees) — Transitional CIO for 8 months: €500K/year in operating cost reduction, catching up on 6 months of delays, strategic roadmap delivered, operational Executive Committee KPIs.
- GROUPE MGE (transport, 800 employees, €100M) — Transitional CIO after the departure of 2 CIOs: IT modernization, establishment of weekly Executive Committee meetings, ERP roadmap definition.
- KLEYLING (transport, 200 employees) - Part-time CIO, CISO coaching: from tech to leader, transformation and Artificial Intelligence roadmap.
🧭 MY APPROACH
16 years of experience with SMEs/Mid-caps in the Grand Est region, including 6 years running my own consulting firm (LPB Conseil, 20 employees). I know how to align an Executive Committee around a vision as well as challenge experts on cutting-edge technical topics.
I work with complete transparency with the executive: clear Executive Committee reporting, quantified KPIs, no jargon. My goal is to make you autonomous, not to become indispensable.

I collaborated with Bruno HERDLY on the development of a Security Assurance Plan, aimed at reassuring our clients about the security of our services in terms of confidentiality, availability, and integrity. As CISO, Bruno conducted a rigorous audit of our suppliers and security best practices, drawing on the ISO27002 guide.
His analysis allowed us to clarify our security commitments and identify simple measures to improve our service quality. This project was crucial for attracting more demanding clients and justifying our pricing.
I highly recommend Bruno for any role requiring cybersecurity expertise and the ability to build trust.
