đšâđAgile/Lean/Product Coach & Trainer
+19 years of multi-sector IT experience (banking, healthcare, insurance, retail, telecom, public sector, constructionâŠ), including over 10 years dedicated to lean & agile coaching and large-scale transformation.
â€ïž What motivates me every day: helping teams, managers, and leaders make agility, lean â and now AI â true drivers of sustainable efficiency, collective purpose, and value creation.
đ€I support organizations, from portfolio to operational execution, by combining on-the-ground coaching, managerial support, and pragmatic uses of generative AI, to foster lasting collective dynamics and accelerate "time-to-outcome".
đ Throughout my missions, I have contributed to co-building operating models, coaching and mentoring key roles (Epic Owners, LPM, RTE, Product Managers, Scrum Masters, agile teams, managers), leading maturity audits, facilitating systemic improvement workshops, and designing tailor-made training (Agility, Scrum, SAFe, Agile Leadership) adapted to each organizational level.
đŻ Convinced that performance also comes through impact, I help managers and leaders align business strategy with customer needs (OKR, MVP, UX,...) and embed a measurable continuous improvement culture at all organizational levels (Flow Metrics, Generative AI,...).
đ Multi-certified: SAFe SPC/RTE, Lean Black Belt, Scrum, PSPO, UX-PM, ISTQB Agile Tester, Management 3.0âŠ
đ People I've worked with have appreciated my professionalism, my listening skills, and my ability to transform complex concepts into concrete operational levers.
