Back to original languageAbout Damien
Freelance Senior IT Project Manager, with over 10 years of experience in managing projects and transforming information systems in complex environments.
I act as a delivery referent on multi-application programs where success relies on the alignment between business needs, IT architecture, and operational execution.
I have supported transformations in the banking, real estate, telecom, and retail sectors, managing teams of up to 20 people and critical application portfolios, from the opportunity phase through deployment and run.
My role covers the entire delivery cycle:
- Scoping and securing business needs
- Project management (planning, budget, risks, dependencies)
- Coordination of multidisciplinary teams (IT, business, architecture)
- Securing delivery through to production and run
- Facilitating steering committees and client relations
I distinguish myself through a very operational and results-oriented approach, with a strong ability to arbitrate, structure, and meet commitments in constrained contexts.
My positioning: to guarantee the delivery of complex projects by combining product vision, management rigor, and understanding of technical and business challenges.
