About Christophe

I have 28 years of international experience as an IT & Data Director, including 10 years at Accenture, 13 years at Danone (Data & Analytics Director for the group and its 200 business units), and 2 years at Saint Gobain Distribution (Data Director).
What characterizes me is my ability to transform Data ambitions into concrete, business-value-driven, and measurable results over time.
I can leverage this experience to support your challenges as a Chief Data Officer or Data/IT Director with a real transformation objective.
The challenge and context are paramount for me, as I am keen on creating impact.
