Back to original languageAbout Christophe
True right-hand man of the CFO within industrial SMEs/ETIs, I specialize in management control and information systems.
I have over 15 years of experience in management control professions. Moving from industrial management control to management control direction, I have expertise in all business functions: operations, sales, marketing, R&D, purchasing.
Over the years, I have specialized in building management reporting in Excel using several BI tools (BO, Myreport, Birst).
On the IS side, I have 3 ERP projects to my name (M3/Divalto/InforLN) with responsibilities for the management control and accounting modules.
During the Group ERP project with Infor LN (2 years / €3 million budget), I played the role of ERP finance consultant and then functional architect as the project manager's right-hand man.
In my last role, I prepared two business plans for shareholder changes (in 2014 and 2019). I reported to investment funds between 2014 and 2019.
Finally, I have significant international experience with a long-term assignment in the UK. This involved integrating a subsidiary with the objective of achieving profitable growth in line with Group requirements.
If you are looking for someone who can easily integrate into your teams and support them in a results-oriented culture, I am your man!
