About Cédric

I am a hybrid profile at the crossroads of business, technology, and UX.

Computer engineer (INSA Lyon + Karlsruhe University) with 17 years of experience and co-founder of several innovative companies, I help businesses transform a vision into a high-performing digital product.

How does my dual role make a difference?

Too many PMs ignore technical constraints; too many 100% tech profiles forget business stakes. I speak both languages.
My goal is to align your strategic objectives with operational reality to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth, accelerate your Time-to-Market, and seek the greatest added value for your service or product.

My areas of intervention:

1- Strategy & Product Discovery
  • Definition of vision, roadmap, and prioritization (RICE, MoSCoW).
  • Functional and budgetary scoping, and ROI measurement.
  • Facilitation of Design Thinking workshops and rapid prototyping to validate your hypotheses.

2- Design & UX
  • Functional analysis and interaction design.
  • User-centered and efficient interface design (UX/UI).

3- Build, Management, and Development
  • Pragmatic and sustainable software architecture and technology choices.
  • Coordination between business, design, and technical teams.
  • Ability to "roll up my sleeves" to unblock critical features. (Web & No-code development, AI & automations)

My style:Pragmatism above all.
I am happy to get my hands dirty to build the best product with you.
Every team is different:I adapt!

I favor an MVP that learns quickly over a "perfect" product that arrives too late. I am particularly effective at launching a new product or structuring an innovation approach.
