Back to original languageAbout Elias
Senior Business Analyst / AMOA, I have 12 years of experience in IT transformation projects, from requirements gathering to tool deployment and user adoption.
My guiding principle: bridging the gap between IT teams and business departments. I translate operational needs into concrete solutions, ensure the quality and migration of master data, and support the deployment of business applications in demanding environments.
I have held this role in various sectors - banking and finance (Crédit Agricole Services & Technologies, Crédit Mutuel Leasing), international logistics and transport (CEVA – CMA-CGM group), services (Funecap), and the public sector (Ministry of the Interior, CNAM). This diversity has taught me to quickly grasp a business, its vocabulary, and its challenges.
My preferred areas: IT tool deployment, Master Data migration and management, Procurement / P2P processes (purchasing, procurement), data exploitation and validation, and change management.
Independent, rigorous, and results-oriented, I strive to make complex subjects clear and actionable. Bilingual in French/English, I am comfortable in international environments.
