About Damien

25 years of experience in an industrial environment, including 18 years at URGO, as Head of UAP (50 people – €18M turnover) and Head of Maintenance (30 people – €4M budget).

👉 Experienced industrial manager, I work across the entire value chain, with a global approach combining production, maintenance, continuous improvement, Lean, and management.

I lead and transform industrial organizations by constantly seeking:

🔺 My Lean vision:
🎯 Customer: ensure quality, deadlines, and value
👥 Management: engage and empower teams
🔄 Flow: streamline processes and eliminate waste

💡 Key principle:
Place people and the shop floor at the heart of performance

👉 Conviction:
Sustainable performance relies on the alignment between customer value, process control, and team engagement, by addressing root causes.

📊 Key results over one year of UAP activity

-20% customer complaints
-70% rework
-60% quality defects

Experience

    December 2025 - Today (8 months)
    Paris, France
    ❌ Lean is not improvised.
    ✅ It is structured.
    Those who know me know that Lean has been part of my daily life for a long time: tools, projects, hunting for non-added value, team animation, improving S,Q,D,C performance… the experience was there.
    👉 This certification structures and reinforces this field practice, with a global approach articulated around 3 key levers:
    — 🎯 Focus on customer needs
    — 🔄 Organization of activities within flows and processes — waste, irritants, and variability
    — 👥 Management and improvement steering system

    🔧 Specifically:
    Performance diagnosis, roadmap definition, and deployment at the organizational level.

    💡 Lean is not just a toolbox. It's a culture, a way to build sustainable and collective performance.
