About Cédric

Data & AI Strategic Transformation Consultant | Financial Services & Governance Expert (Ex- Dataiku, Ex-Accenture, Ex-BNP Paribas)

With 25 years of experience in leading consulting firms (Accenture), leading software publishers (Dataiku), and major banking groups (BNP Paribas), I support general management, finance, and data departments in their large-scale transformation programs.

My motto: data and AI without beating around the bush: let's fix the foundations before the tools.

My role: Your partner to transform your data into a lever for performance and common sense.

What I concretely bring you:

• A frank Diagnosis: An objective assessment of the maturity of your data and your organization to avoid low ROI POC projects.
• Rare hybrid expertise: I speak the language of your management (Costs, Risks, Compliance) and that of your Data Scientists (Python, Pipeline, Cloud). I translate your strategic challenges into an operational roadmap.
• Pragmatism and Results: Experienced in demanding environments (G-SIBs), I favor operational solutions that meet real-world constraints. I support your teams and structure your processes

I have collaborated with many key players: Euronext, Société Générale, BPCE, Bank for International Settlements, La Banque Postale, Crédit Agricole, Malakoff Humanis, among others.

Let's discuss your transformation challenges together!
