Description

Senior consultant in finance and organizational transformation, with over 12 years of experience at the interface between finance, supply chain, and performance management. I have supported public and private organizations, in France and internationally, on S/4HANA transformation programs, budget structuring, process optimization, internal control (SOX), and financial steering. With a hybrid background combining operations, financial analysis, and investment, and currently pursuing Certified Turnaround Analyst (CTA) certification, I intervene with a pragmatic approach, focused on impact and value creation, in complex and multi-stakeholder environments.
