Back to original languageAbout Christophe
Over 33 years of experience in energy, oil & gas, real estate, transportation, and manufacturing has allowed me to develop sharp expertise in AI-driven strategies for risk management and compliance.
I have led transformative initiatives aimed at reducing regulatory risks, securing major contracts, and optimizing operations—a trajectory that naturally leads me to manage cross-functional AI governance programs at an enterprise scale.
At IA Engineering & Management in Paris, I specialize in industrial strategy consulting: AI governance, cyber risk management (GRC), GDPR and AI Act compliance, industrial cybersecurity.
AI Governance: mapping of stakeholders and existing AI projects/use cases, building and deploying the governance roadmap, establishing an AI systems register, defining associated processes and roles, supporting teams, and implementing management indicators.
Regulatory Compliance: impact analysis of applicable regulations, formalizing requirements and their operational implementation, building a sustainable control framework, participating in strategic decisions, and continuous regulatory monitoring disseminated to stakeholders.
Coordination and Management: overseeing program workstreams, coordinating business, IT, data, cybersecurity, and legal contributors, facilitating governance bodies, tracking action plans, and reporting to management. I use digital tools and internal AI governance platforms.
