About Claire

I don't manage projects. I make decisions possible.
Portfolios of +€150M+. Multi-country programs. IT Roadmaps that commit an IT department for 5 years. IT budgets from €6 to €22M to build from scratch, to arbitrate before an Executive Committee, to meet.
15 years of assignments in demanding environments, banking, luxury, pharma, retail, insurance, defense, have taught me one thing: complexity can be managed. It doesn't have to be endured.

▶ GSK — ERP S/4HANA Cutover Lead · Wave 0 France €250M · global program €1B
▶ TERACT / InVivo — IT Roadmap · 155 applications · €4.2M managed · €2.3M in recurring savings generated
▶ Bpifrance — €51M · 293 projects under control in 12 months · single COMEX reporting
▶ Chanel — SPEED Program · Chanel.com headless redesign · €5M · 60 markets · delivered 1 month before go-live
▶ La Poste — HRIS Roadmap · €22M · 5 scenarios arbitrated in 3 months
▶ SGD Pharma — IT Budget 2026 · €6.3M · 3 continents · 74 projects prioritized
▶ Thales — Product Owner eACQ Ivalua · Agile squad · 7 modules · 11 release cycles
▶ Rexel, Henner, Entoria — portfolio management €6 to €12M · IT department governance · Sciforma

Each assignment, one key deliverable: the Executive Committee's decision. Documented, defensible, actionable.

My playground: digital transformation · portfolio management · IT Roadmap · IT governance · AI augmented in PMO practice.

Available for long assignments (12–18 months). France priority — open to UK / DACH / Benelux. French and English.

Experience

  • GSK
    Project Manager Officer
    January 2026 - July 2026 (6 months)
    ERP Evolution Program, GSK (Evreux site) - Pharma & Vaccines. PMO & Cutover Lead for the SAP ECC to S/4HANA migration of the Evreux site, one of the 3 sites in Wave 0 France (€250M) of a global €1B program (65 countries, 35 sites).

    Identified challenge: secure an ERP cutover in a GMP environment (0 supply disruption targeted), by orchestrating 12 application satellites and program/site governance based on an "Adopt, Not Adapt" principle.

    Value-oriented PMO management contributions:
    ▸ Built a unique site transition plan (slowdown, transition, ramp-up), the single source of truth for all stakeholders.
    ▸ Orchestrated 12 satellites (ATTP, EWM, Cold Chain, Ariba SLP, Loftware, QC Processes) sequenced with Wave 0.
    ▸ Secured the GMP cutover strategy: hypercare dimensioned from the outset, prepared dress rehearsals & mock cutovers.
    ▸ Managed a 2-level governance (Program SteerCo / Site Technical Management), exceptions filtered via design authority.

  • La Poste Groupe
    Project Manager Officer
    January 2026 - March 2026 (2 months)
    Group HRIS Roadmap, La Poste, Public Service & Mail/Distribution Sector. Supported the Group HRIS Department in building the HRIS Roadmap for 2030: diagnosis of the existing situation, scoping of target scenarios, and preparation for Steering Committee arbitration, covering multi-subsidiary and multi-population scope (LPMM private employees, civil servants, Group agents, subsidiaries) including HRIS, Payroll, Talents, Time & Attendance, and Employee Portal.

    Identified challenge: HRIS convergence under dual constraints of time (3 months, Jan-Mar 2026) and multi-subsidiary complexity, with an investment gap of x1.35 between scenarios (CAPEX ~€16M vs ~€22M) requiring a robust and traceable arbitration framework.

    Value-oriented PMO management contributions:
    ▸ Scoped a controlled arbitration funnel 5 → 2 scenarios, analyzed across 6 cross-functional themes (Interfaces 22%, HRIS 20%, Architecture 18%, Decommissioning 16%, Portal 14%, Security/Organization/Data 10%)
    ▸ Structured a unique evaluation grid with 6 criteria (employee journey, HRIS rationalization, data control, scalability, RUN costs, project) as a common framework for all scenarios
    ▸ Objectified CAPEX/OPEX arbitration by detailing the N+1 RUN impacts for each scenario (SaaS licenses, outsourcing, decommissioning)
    ▸ Managed a 2-level governance (Steering Committee of Group IT/HR Directors + i-TEAM HRIS/Architecture/Urbanization referents) with decisions made during meetings, not behind the scenes
    ▸ Orchestrated an independent market benchmark through 4 vendor learning expeditions to secure the upstream scope of a future call for tenders.

    Value-oriented PMO management contributions:
