About Clément

Are you heading an IT department, an IT service, or a strategic program.

You have siloed teams, a runaway Time To Market, or an organization struggling to scale.

You are looking for a project manager who can both lead the transformation AND stay close to technical delivery.

This is exactly my field.

My approach: lead AND deliver. Not one without the other.

For 8 years, I have been working in demanding large enterprise contexts (banking, energy, telecom, public sector) by blending three roles that most project managers separate:

→ Project and Program Management:
KPI dashboards, budget monitoring, staffing, management of large-scale group studies, multi-team coordination, clear reporting to committees and management.

→ Organizational Transformation:
implementation of autonomous squads, creation of cross-functional chapters (CI/CD, DevOps, Developer Experience), coaching teams on Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe, scaling agile practices.

→ Technical Delivery:
I get my hands dirty with code when it's useful. Recent example: design and deployment of an internal code search engine (Zoekt + Angular + indexing scripts), from POC to production.

I use generative AI daily (Claude, Continue) for prototyping and automation.

Recent references:

- BPCE Solutions Informatiques (2025-Present):
overhaul of a 22-person team into autonomous squads, management of a group study on IDE convergence.

- EDF (2022-2025): Scrum Master for 2 teams in a SAFe train, Flow Efficiency / Lead Time indicators, significant reduction in Time To Market through proactive dependency management.

- Orange (2020-2022): Scrum Master in a SAFe train for fiber and copper network programs.

Certifications up to date: PSM II, PSPO I, SAFe Agilist.
